Maximo

1.) Is there a way in Maximo Mobile 9 to not download images to the mobile app? I see there is an attachments checkbox in the setting snow, but are images different from attachments? What I would like to do is not download any images to the IPAD for offline viewing. Ideally if they are connected online it would be great to download the images as needed. Can you do this with the child record retrieval?

2.) I want to add a custom filter to the technician app to filter work orders on ticket template.  How do you define custom filters? I see there are a few for asset, location, work type etc. I couldn't find where new ones are added though.

3.) When I click the check for updates button in technician it takes a bit to update and finish. If I go into the settings and check only sync delta it goes much faster. Is there a way to have this delta option toggled by default so all of your technicians would not have to set that?

Thanks! Any info is appreciated. 

I have a similar request that I am working on specifically to add a custom filter to the technician app to filter work orders. Did you make any progress on this?

Hi!

1. No, I dont think it is able
2. No
3. If you are speaking about custom filters, then here I make a simple way how to achieve it: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/adding-user-defined-filters-maximo-mobile-application-andrey-ilinskiy-1abtf/

Thank Andrey, I was looking for the filtering option after the query has been retrieved

Hi, 

I've recently done some digging into this as well, and it doesn't seem possible due to the filter functionality being deep in the core code of the app.

I'm going to raise an idea to see if this can be included in configuration, as I can see customers wanting to include additional filter fields.

Cheers

It is also not a big problem. You need to add for the attribute defenition to the maximo-data-source lookup-map defenition

<attribute id="gqb8q" name="siteid">      <lookup-map id="zynjx" name="cxsite">              <lookup-return datasource-field="description,siteid" id="xk98y" lookup-field="displayValue"/>             <lookup-return datasource-field="siteid" id="eqrw4" lookup-field="siteid"/>      </lookup-map>  </attribute>

The lookup-map is correct, but I would NOT try to use the lookups.json approach. Unless the changes we made in 9.0 resolve this, this isn't possible for customers because the config tool build process won't have the lookup loaded and will throw an error when you reference a lookup name that the config tool has loaded. In reality, you don't need this approach at all though and it leads to downloading redundant & potentially bad data.

Instead of name="", use datasource="" and reference the datasource that you have defined in your application. This should be done with a maximo-datasource-override over your existing datasource to not impact behavior of the other apps. For example, to do the asset filter we define this datasource override on the assetLookupDS:

Thanks for the info! So if I want to do a filter for CLASSSTRUCTURE.HIERARCHYPATH for work orders, would I need to set up a datasource for classstructure? Then reference that with the lookup attribute from within dswolist? Or can I just have the attribute in dswolist and use that as the datasource?
