Re-open the Quick Find Field

This field is now hidden, and far to the right, and requires the users to do multiple clicks to do a fast find on a single record.  This makes it more difficult and less intuitive to users to do a query for a record.  Often the proximity of this field to the Navigate to Item field has been a problem where users have incorrectly entered the key value into the incorrect search field, but now, the prominence of the Navigate to Item field will become a greater annoyance for the users who are looking for the key value search field.
Several of the search functions have been buried into a new menu, making it more hidden, more clicks to execute and is less noticeable to users.  This may look more stream-lined; but is harder for users to easily find the data they are looking for.  Suggest that you move the quick find field back out of hiding, and make the search menu more prominent.

    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 the design system requires the current design to remain, and we will not be considered in the short-to-medium term.

    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.
