Add the ability to use an Inspection Form as a way to capture information that can populate other records in Maximo

An inspection form should be able to be set up to capture data. The data captured should be able to update other Maximo objects. 

 

New assets are being constructed.  There is a form to capture additional details such as serial number, was the as built as designed, etc.  Some of these fields should be able to update fields on the Asset.  This is just one example, there are many others and this isn't limited to just asset.  There needs to be a generic capability to map Inspection form fields to other Maximo Objects and Attributes.  Also a review process to verify information before it updates other objects.

    HI all ... this idea is already achievable today with little configuration. While FORMS in Maximo are targeted to compliment information related to existing Maximo processes, we do not expect to use FORMS as a workflow or to drive processes in Maximo. Maximo is not a form based solution. Having said that, form is also a free form definition that can capture anything. As part of the custom configurable actions that can act on data collected by an inspection result, customers can create an action (script) to map their custom defined form with the proper maximo objects that will need to be updated with the data collected. This is doable today ... If a customer states that other tools have it, the same effort to write plugins to integrate form data with any other external based tool would have to be written to work with Maximo. We're not different. In the other hand, it's important to emphasize that we don't need forms to update asset or work data through Mobile. Mobile have features that allow work order and assets to be updated directly from the app without a need for a form. Marking ideas as already available, with minimum effort required to build the script to migrate form data to the related Maximo object.
