  • 1.  Maximo Mobile - How to remove create new inspection option

    Posted Thu November 21, 2024 12:44 PM

    Hello,

    Using Maximo Mobile (v9), does anyone know how to remove the permission to create new inspection in the navigator plus sign (+)?

    I've check in the MXAPIINSP* objects structure but didnt found any sigoption that worked to remove this option like exists in the MXAPIWODETAIL (CREATENEWWO).

    Hi André,

    I have achieved this in version 8 by simply removing / commenting out the second menu-item below (in bold) from the inspection app.xml:

    <menu slot="navigation-items" id="ga4kr">
        <menu-item label="Inspections" icon="maximo:inspections" page="main" id="zpydr"/>
        <menu-item action-type="add" label="Create inspection" icon="maximo:add--record" page="createInspection" id="kjgxd"/>
     </menu>

    This is an interesting observation, I have just looked at the sigoptions and there is the "Insert" option on both the MXAPIINSPECTIONRES and MXAPIINSPRESULT objects but even when the user does not have this option granted they can still create an ad-hoc inspection. So it looks like this option is not considered by Maximo Mobile and I believe this is a product issue so you should report this by raising a support ticket.

    Steve is correct. We should have a signature option (sigoption="") on the menu-item to only show it when the user has the permission to create a record. Both for WORKORDER & ASSET we do this, though we do it with a secondary permission (rather than just INSERT we look for createnewwo as an example for a traditional record or quickrep for the new quick reporting feature). I personally don't like that approach but that's what they chose to do.  

    This should be a bug so that you could remove the security, and it remove it from the users dynamically rather than permanently.

    Hi Steven's

    Thank you all for your replies. I thought it must be a bug.

    I'll take your advice and open a support case.

    Regards
