Action Formulas

As an alternative to the Rules Engine idea, I wonder if IBM could enhance Maximo formulas by creating an "Action Formula" mechanism. Attribute formulas and object formulas already have most of the functionality that we’re looking for when it comes...

Scenario: A user spends some time querying and selecting multiple WOs in the Quick Reporting list view. The user wants to open the selected WOs in a different application, such as WOTRACK. The user would prefer to use their existing selection, rat...
