Countbook messages

The Maximo mobile applications count books are intended to support blind counting; however, some additional features, such as displaying messages when counts do not match or appear inaccurate, provide feedback that compromises the integrity of a true blind count. To address this, it would be beneficial to introduce signature options (sigoptions) for each message type, allowing organizations to configure whether these messages are displayed. This flexibility would enable users to conditionally receive such notifications based on their operational requirements, ensuring compliance with blind counting principles while maintaining adaptability for different business needs.

    Thank you for submitting the Idea, your feedback is greatly appreciated. We understand the necessity of a truly completely blind count and will be implementing this request in a subsequent version update.

    I like the idea of the icon/messages being configurable to turn on or off. I have a client that likes the warning, they can do a quick recount to save time/rework. I get that it does defeat the purpose of a blind count though. If you get a warning, the count doesn't match.
