Don’t be overwhelmed by Maximo. Training is the secret to IBM’s EAM. When my husband and were in the market for a new home, we toured several models in many of the new neighborhoods in Denver.

When Maximo 7.6 came out, the yellow background color on required fields was, unfortunately for many users, abandoned. Luckily changing this back is actually a pretty simple task. First, determine what skin you are using. The skin name can be found in the following system property: mxe.webclient.skin. In this example our skin name is tivoli13, […]

Can you see two Workflow Designer tabs in Maximo? Something you may have noticed since upgrading past Maximo 7.6.0.6 is that there are two Workflow Designer “Canvas” tabs. At first glance, this looks like the first sign of Maximo becoming unhinged. However, two canvas tabs exist intentionally but only one should be visible. Starting in […]
Different Skins in IBM Maximo It’s that time again. End of support for another Maximo version.
