All indexes to be added to audit tables through UI

In Maximo 7.x, administrators can set an attribute to have an audit history be enabled the "Audit Enabled" checkbox. When enabled, Maximo will create an audit table to track changes made to that attribute. The table that is created is then part of the Maximo database, but does not have any indexes. Administrators are allowed to view and edit indexes on objects in Database Configuration (DB Config) application. In DB Config there is a restriction that only allows objects that are set to editable to allow indexes to be added/modified. This means through the UI, an administrator cannot create indexes for audit tables to help end users monitor/manage change histories to objects.

Audit tables should be allowed to have a core set of indexes either created when the audit table is generated, based on the out of the box parent object (e.g. use out of the box indexes from WORKORDER for A_WORKORDER object)

OR

allow administrators create/manage indexes on audit tables from the Maximo UI.

    We have had to add indexes to numerous tables to improve system and report performance.
    IBM should have every table indexed and improve the process / time it takes for the system to actually index new records.
