Maximo

Hello,

Using MAXIMO Mobile, using TECH Mobile app, I want to find out how the start and stop assignment functionality works. I created the work orders, assigned myself, change the status of the work order ASSIGNED. 

In what condition the push button Start and Stop assignment will be displayed and I will be able to use this functionality?

We have start & stop timers for recording labor transactions if that's what you're talking about. There are a couple of system properties and organization settings to control the behavior of the start/stop timer. 

System Properties
maximo.mobile.usetimer - this controls whether clicking "Start Work" should start a timer

maximo.mobile.allowmultipletimers - this controls whether a user is able to start multiple timers or if they need to stop a timer before starting a new one.

Then in the Organizations application, open the System Settings. There is a section there labeled timer. The two most important ones to consider are the "Automatically change work order status to INPRG when a user starts a labor timer" and "By default, change the work order status to COMP when a user stops a timer". The first one is often enabled and will take a WO that was in APPR for example and make it INPRG when a timer is started. The second one is typically disabled because a timer can stop for a variety of reasons and doesn't necessarily indicate the work was complete.

If this was actually about assignments, we do not currently interact with assignments in Maximo Mobile out of the box in 8.11. In the 9.0 release (end of June) we will have a simple accept/reject flow for assignments to support the dispatching use case where the dispatcher needs to know whether the person they dispatched the work to is able to perform the work. 

In the 9.1 release we're looking to add more support for assignments inside the application.

Assignment functionality could be added with configuration today if there was a use case you needed.

Hi Steven,

  Could a user use a start/stop timer to track travel time and then, at the work site, use the timers to track work time?

Thanks!
