 So whats more important, what you build you house of or what your build your house on ? I think most would agree that a strong foundation gives any superstructure the best chance of staying up over the long haul. If an EAM's foundation is made of blocks, then those blocks would be constructed of DATA. Maximo is a great EAM system and people build great processes using Maximo, however, without data ( or good data) the benefits are never fully realized. Worse yet, if the data is not properly maintained then the system will... [More]

Recently there are some requests for information on, how to increase the Drilldown limit in Maximo and I have created this document that explains how to do that.   Drilldown Limit can be changed in two ways in Maximo, one is global level that effects for system and another way is by modifying the value (overriding the global value) for the tree control of the specific Drilldown. You can review the  Drilldown Limit or https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/wikis/display/maximo/Drilldown+Limit+in+Maximo
