  • 1.  Showing Maximo work orders in Outlook calendars

    Posted Mon January 25, 2021 07:39 PM

    Hi,

     

    I have a business requirement to show Maximo work orders in a calendar view in Outlook.  We use Maximo 7.6.09.    Is there a way to do so?  We do not use scheduler or graphical assignment manager.

     

    Thanks,

    --Nancy

    Hi Nancy,

    Based on our Customer Feedback we build some Add-On because there is no standard way in Maximo to provide such a function. Perhaps you might spend a few minutes to view our concept:

    You can also try to use this link in your Outlook to see how it works:

    Hi Nancy,

    I believe this can be achieved via an automation script: https://bportaluri.com/2020/01/send-calendar-invitations.html

    Otherwise I suggest you have a look at an add-on created by EAM Swiss (EAM Flex Calendar Add-On). They have created an ability to add an outlook view in Maximo, besides they also have a feature to sync the work orders to your outlook calendar.

    Attached is a Javascript / Nashorn based Automation script to send an outlook vCalendar formatted calendar invite.  You can attach it to the proper launch point and pull out your own values as appropriate.  This example only sends a single invite to a single person, but if you need something a little more complicated with multiple people on the invite it can be pretty easily modified.

    Does the invite have to be sent through a communication log on the work order or are there other ways to do so?

    I wrote a script a few years ago to send calendar invites for Maximo work orders.  You can find it here:

    If you want any more details or have questions feel free to reach out.

    Hi Nancy,

    I watched a presentation from EAM Swiss GmbH where they had developed an add-on with the same look and feel as Outlook Calendar to handle WO in desktop view.
