Classification data load: Load a single row, include a flattened USEWITH field (comma-delimited)

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

Loading classifications into Maximo via Excel is a difficult process -- due to the related tables.

It would be helpful if we could do the following with Excel Application Import to help simplify the process:

  • Load a single classification row, and include a single flattened USEWITH field (comma-delimited).

  • An example of a value in the USEWITH column would be:
     'SR, WOACTIVITY, WORKORDER'

  • Maximo would need to be capable of parsing and un-pivoting the USEWITH field into multiple USEWITH rows (vertical rows).

If parsing comma-delimited values is too difficult, then the following might be an alternative:

  • The user could put the USEWITH values in separate columns (not rows).

  • Example:

  • CLASSSTRUCTUREID    USEWITH 1    USEWITH 2    USEWITH 3
    ----------------    ---------    ---------    ---------
                1234    SR           WOACTIVITY   WORKORDER

  • Maximo would un-pivot the columns into rows when loading the data.
