Add a refresh button to Maximo applications

Scenario:

A WO has been modified, so the user wants to refresh it in the browser to see the latest data.

The refresh button in Chrome doesn't work as we might expect -- it doesn't refresh the record. Instead, the user needs to drag the WONUM from the Work Order tab, drop it into the Find Work Order text box, and click the search button. This seems to be the only way to properly refresh the record.

Screenshot: https://i.stack.imgur.com/M3eqV.png


While that technique technically works, it is not intuitive for new Maximo users.

Can IBM add a refresh button that achieves the same thing as the drag & drop technique above?

For example: mbo.getThisMboSet().reset() mbo = mbo.getThisMboSet().getMbo(0)

    Thank you for taking the time to provide your ideas to IBM. We truly value our relationship with you and appreciate your willingness to share details about your experience, your recommendations, and ideas.

    I am sorry to inform you that our team has evaluated the request and has determined that it cannot be implemented in the near-term, but could be taken under consideration as part of our new role-based applications in MAS 8.

    If you would like to be involved in the features of these new applications, or other Maximo modernization efforts at IBM, please email smithjor@us.ibm.com to become part of our sponsored user group, which is a program where you and people in your organization become active participants in the Maximo design process, working alongside our design teams to help us create great future experiences for real target users.
