The Maximo IT add-on extends Maximo Manage with ITIL-aligned service management processes, including incident, problem, change and release management and configuration items. Asset Configuration Manager, Spatial and Transportation address configuration of complex assets, geographic information and transportation assets respectively.

An active job plan cannot be edited directly. The Revise Job Plan action creates a copy with the status PNDREV (pending revision), in which tasks and other details can be changed. When the revision is made active, the previous version becomes REVISED and the new version continues the job plan. The flow control actions only affect how task sequencing works, and Simulate Job Plan only tests the plan.

A Manual Input node pauses the workflow and presents the user with a dialog containing a list of choices. Each choice corresponds to an outgoing connection, so any number of options, including three, can be offered and the selected value determines the path taken. A Task node assigns work and offers only Accept (positive) and Reject (negative) outcomes. An Interaction node opens a Maximo application, tab or dialog so the user can complete an action, rather than choosing from an option list. Multiple Option is not a Maximo workflow node type.

A budget uses the statuses DRAFT, WAPPR, APPR, CANCELLED and CLOSED. WSTART and EXPIRD relate to other records, such as contracts, and PAUSED is not a Maximo status.

The Set User Validation Options action in Inventory Usage lets each user turn on or off the confirmation dialogs that are displayed when saving a usage record. The two options are Show Reservation Validations, which controls the dialog about existing reservations, and Show Return Validations, which controls the dialog about items that can be returned. Shipping, transfer and staging do not have corresponding options in this action.

An automation script uses the implicit variables warngroup and warnkey, with warnparams for substitution values, to display a warning defined in the Messages dialog of Database Configuration. Processing continues after a warning. The errorgroup and errorkey pair is used to raise an error that stops the transaction.

When a rotating asset is returned to a vendor through the Return Items action in the Receiving application, Maximo changes the asset status to DECOMMISSIONED and flags the record as returned to vendor. Moved and Returned are not asset statuses, and Unavailable is not applied by this process.

Contract types are defined for an organization in the Organizations application, in the contract options of the Select Action menu. The properties that apply to each contract type, with their default values, are associated there as well. Contract applications such as Master Contracts use the type that is defined in this way, and System Properties holds system-wide settings rather than contract type properties.

The Visible setting determines whether a question is displayed to the inspector. A question can be hidden by default and then made visible only when a specific response is given to another question through the conditional settings, which keeps the form short and shows follow-up questions only when needed.

Assets and locations are Site-level data. Each record belongs to one site, and its site determines the organization it falls under, with the associated calendars, GL account structure and security. Items and companies are examples of Set-level data, while organization-level data includes items such as calendars and chart of accounts.

The Premium administration entitlement gives administrator rights at the suite level and includes everything in Base. A user with this entitlement can configure suite settings, such as authentication. Base administration only allows the user to manage users. System Configuration and User Management are administration access areas rather than entitlements, and Self-Service is an application entitlement.

The Resource Leveling tab shows how resources are allocated and how work is planned by craft and crew type, which helps the scheduler identify overloaded and under-used resources and level the workload.

The Gantt chart on the Dispatching Dashboard displays the assignments and the resources that perform them along a timeline. Dispatchers use it to see current and upcoming assignments and any conflicts. Resource usage percentages and allocation by craft or labor are shown by other charts.

Selecting Support Flat Structure on an object structure enables it for flat-file processing such as CSV. Maximo then checks the objects in the structure for duplicate attribute names, because a flat file cannot hold two columns with the same name. The object structure can then be used with Application Import/Export and with flat-file processing in the Integration Framework. Internal restricts the object structure to Maximo-defined use, and the other options do not control flat-file support.

Domains are created and maintained in the Domains application, but the link between a domain and a specific attribute is made in Database Configuration. There you open the object, select the attribute and enter the domain in the Domain field. Maximo validates that the attribute data type is compatible with the domain type, and the change must be applied through Manage Admin Mode and a configuration database update before it takes effect.
