When working in WO Tracking, the action "select more Work Orders" can take over 1 minute to respond on a system with a high Work Order load. Additionally, the output will list millions of work orders. This kind of excessive output is of no use. To...

Re-implement Workflow Designer

The current state of the Workflow designer could be improved in several dimensions. The flow charting design tool is erratic and difficult to use, arbitrarily redrawing the canvas (and not in a particularly usable manner). The actual objects do no...

Workorders Generated From PMs Written Against a Location (Which Only Has One Asset) Should Only List the Location

Maximo currently adds the asset to any workorder generated by a PM associated with a location if the location only has one asset. This make no sense for our company for we want any work done associated with the location and not the asset. If we wa...

When using the iPadOS split screen functionality on an Apple iPad, Work Center forms (i.e. inspection forms) do not scale correctly and are essentially zoomed out. To workaround the issue, a user must use the Safari zoom functions to manually zoom...

Allow user to select a Fit To property for PDF when scheduling a report so that reports with many columns will not be cut off on the right side

emailed PDFs will be cut off if the report contains a lot of columns, preventing users from seeing all of their data. We have users experiencing this issue in Maximo 7.6.1

Create some type of notification that informs the user that a data export limit has been set via the system property [webclient.maxdownloadrows] , so they are aware that there data may get truncated.
