GWW-View Assigned Work dialog

IBM had decided that any Idea that we would not be able to implement in a 12-month time frame would be marked as “Not under consideration”. Because this is a good Idea it did get promoted to our backlog as we didn’t want to lose it. Based on the feedback from customers like yourself IBM will allow us to keep this Idea even if it cannot be completed in the next year and change the status back to “Future consideration” to make it visible to our customers once again.

This is one of those coding issue as the field is a datetime, so when you put in 23/03/2022 it's actually 23/03/2022 00:00. This problem exists in a lot of areas in Maximo where you're presented with two separate boxes, one for the start and the other for the end.

Just do this:

1. Open Work Order Tracking

2. Create a new work order

3. Enter a targert start date for the 4th of April i.e. 04/04/2022

4. Enter a target finish date for the 4th of April i.e. 04/04/2022

5. Observe the time component in each.

You will observe that the time is set a 12:00 AM.

It is not same for the search fields. Try this:

1. Open Work Order Tracking

2. Create a new work order

3. Enter a targert start date for the 4th of April i.e. 04/04/2022 08:00 AM

4. Enter a target finish date for the 4th of April i.e. 04/04/2022 11:46 PM

5. Save

6. Open the Advanced Search

7. Enter 04/04/2022 into the Target Start From field

8. Enter 04/04/2022 into the Target StartTo Field

9. Execute the search

10. Open the WhereClause Search

11. Observe the time component in each.

Result (WhereClause):

((woclass = 'WORKORDER' or woclass = 'ACTIVITY') and targstartdate <= '2022-04-04 23:59:59.000' and historyflag = 0 and istask = 0 and siteid = 'TAS' and targstartdate >= '2022-04-04 00:00:00.000' )

As you can see, other than the search type ">=" and "<=", the time component has been added. For each start 00:00:00 is appended, and for each end 23:59:59.

So there is a difference in behviour.

I am at a loss why IBM has not recognised that thier coding is faulty, especially as you cannot select a time component.
