Maximo Mobile window app - Need a way to default the URL in window app

In Maximo mobile windows app, there are no ways to default the maximo url in the app. User must enter the URL manually which is a hassle.

IBM should provide a way to default the URL in windows app similar to iOS and Android platform.

Additionally, if possible, also add GALLERY option under scanner for URL field. so if someone already has QR code in their device, then they can directly scan the same using gallery option.

    In MAS 9.0, we enabled the configuration of App Settings via the start command and MDM. In both methods, it is recommended to relaunch the app to ensure the changes take effect.

    To configure the settings without elevated privileges, execute the following command in the cmd terminal window:

    start "" "maximomobile://settings?enableWindowsHello=<true or false>&serverURL=<server URL>&allowURLtoBeChanged=<true or false>"

    enableWindowsHello: Specifies whether Windows Hello is required.

    serverURL: Defines the MAS home URL.

    allowURLtoBeChanged: Determines whether the end user can modify the MAS home URL.

    This command silently writes values to the app's managed settings without opening the app.

    However, you cannot run this command as an administrator at the machine level. It can only be executed as the current user, meaning it applies only to the settings of the current user/instance.

    Alternatively, you can centrally configure App Settings for each user using a Mobile Device Management (MDM) application. Below is the process for using Microsoft Intune to push/pull App Settings to a device:

    Install the Company Portal app on the device and add the device to Intune.

    Note: The Device’s App Configuration Policy does not support Windows.

    Create a Device Configuration Profile to configure App Settings.

    Set up the following OMA-URI keys:

    /User/Vendor/MSFT/EnterpriseModernAppManagement/AppManagement/noStore/IBM.maximomobile_g3wa7ntxr36nc/AppSettingPolicy/serverURL

    /User/Vendor/MSFT/EnterpriseModernAppManagement/AppManagement/noStore/IBM.maximomobile_g3wa7ntxr36nc/AppSettingPolicy/allowURLtoBeChanged

    /User/Vendor/MSFT/EnterpriseModernAppManagement/AppManagement/noStore/IBM.maximomobile_g3wa7ntxr36nc/AppSettingPolicy/enableWindowsHello

    IBM.maximomobile_g3wa7ntxr36nc is the package family name for the IBM Maximo Mobile MAS app.

    If using EAM, the package family name is IBM.maximomobile-eam_g3wa7ntxr36nc.

    Sync the Device Configuration Profile to Windows devices.

    Sync the device in the Company Portal.

    Hi Joao,

    I understand that there will be a way to pass the URL as in parameter to prepopulate the URL.

    One thing I wanted to highlight was, when any user use the option "repair or modify" from installed apps settings in windows for Maximo mobile windows app, then those settings must not get lost.
