List View related field: How to add a lookup window?

  • 1.  List View related field: How to add a lookup window?

    MAM 7.6.1.2:

    Report Administration application:

    I've added the REPORT_DESIGN.IMPORTEDBY field to the list view. It displays user IDs (or person IDs?) which are numbers, not textual staff names.
    I want to use a lookup window to select a staff member's name, instead of their number.

    So I set the Lookup value to MAXUSER:



    However, when I go to use the List View, the lookup window is broken:


    What am I doing wrong? How can I get the lookup window to populate with values properly?

    Thanks.

    This only works when the attribute has a domain, java class, or automation script Retrieve List event. Since IMPORTEDBY does not have any of those it wouldn't support a lookup nor would it have validation. This is done a lot in Maximo when they are behind the fields set by Maximo (like CHANGEBY for example) that aren't intended for the users to set directly. 

    You could add a table domain to resolve it but I would make sure to leave the validation where clause as null so you don't cause an issue preventing Maximo from setting the value.
