Work Management Enhancements Overview IBM Confidential
Move/Swap/Modify Action • The Move/Modify Asset action is being enhanced in a number of ways. The action will now be called Move/Swap/Modify • A true ‘Swap’ option is now offered where an asset can be swapped out for a replacement
Automated Process Flow for Work Orders • Embedded work flow process in Job Plans and Work Orders • Automatically ‘start’ new records when all predecessors are completed • Automatically complete work orders when all tasks have been completed • Do not allow inheritance of start and complete status changes • Optionally turn on this feature or not
View Work Detail Action • The existing View WO & PM action is being enhanced. It will now be called View Work Details. • This action will now display both Work Orders and Tickets in a single work view. • All classes of records will be displayed and identified • The old View Tickets action will be replaced by this new action
New Activities & Tasks Application • The existing Activities application will be replaced by a new ‘Activities & Tasks’ application • Designed to farm work out to laborers/technicians • Similar to Quick Reporting • Designed for executing single Tasks or Activities • Not designed for hierarchies • Not designed for planning • Screens have been pared down for ease of use
Attached Documents on Work Tasks and Job Tasks • Job Plan Tasks and Work Plan Tasks will need to support attached documents • Paper Clip icons and standard Attached Doc functionality will be added to the Job Plan Tasks and Work Order Tasks • Attachments on Job Plan Tasks will be copied to the subsequent Work Order Tasks.
Nested Job Plans • Nested Job Plans allow Work Order hierarchies to be created • If a Job Plan Task has a Nested Job Plan defined, it will create a child work order instead of a task
Allow All Item Types on Job Plans • Items can be associated with Job Plans to determine what work will be required if an item is purchased. • The change allows ALL types of items to be associated – Service, Tool, Material.
New Job Plan Template Type Field • A new field will be added called Template Type • Valid Values: • MAINTENANCE – Traditional Job Plans • ACTIVITY – Activity Template • PROCESS – Process Template
Trails Rails Roads Pipelines Linear 101 • A linear asset covers a distance, and that distance directly impacts the maintenance of the asset.
Enhanced Flexibility • Increased Ease of Use/Administration • Maximo Authentication • LDAP Integration
Ability to conditionally set security on individual data elements per group • Only fetch asset records from the database when the type is IT • Create a condition • Create a Data Restriction
Data Restrictions (Row and Attribute Security) • Set conditions for access everywhere an object or attribute is used • Hidden, read-only, required, qualified • Globally or per security group
Signature Option on a Control • Application Designer • Add/Modify Signature Options • Control Properties Dialog • Tie the Control to a SIGOPTION to set on/off access
LDAP Integration • Enhanced standard integration with external directories (LDAP) including ITDS
Reporting Roadmap future 2001 2005 2008
Why Are We Changing Reporting Tools? 1. Eliminate Complex Installs 2. Eliminate Platform Support Dependency Issues • Database/ Web Servers / Appservers / Adobe Reader Enables Focus on Reporting Functionality
3. Deliver 150+ OOB Reports Configurability
2. Report Scheduling Benefit: Offload Processing to Non-Peak Hours PLUS User Managed Scheduling At Single Time in Future OR Recurring Performance
