Allow drag-and-drop to add multiple attachments

Our users attach many files to invoices, defects, work orders, etc. The latest update applied allows the user to do a multi-select from the file system which has been very well received. An additional piece of functionality has been requested for some time is to use drag-and-drop to add attachments to objects in Maximo. Users will have attachments in a variety of locations, such as desktops, emails, etc and they would like to be able to drag these onto an object to have the attachment saved with it.

    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 at this time in the Maximo framework. However, we are modernizing the user experience of Maximo, which includes new methods of adding attachments, where this request may be considered in the future.

    If you would like to be involved in the features of the new applications in the Maximo suite, or other 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.
