Removing inactive users from the Select Labor pick list

Question & Answer


Question

How do we remove inactive users from the Select Labor pick list?

Answer

When using the "Select Labor" option in Workorder Tracking, Maximo does not restrict inactive users
because we allow for 'after the fact' reporting. However, there is a work around that can be used to restrict
the list to only active users by setting a Global Data Restriction in the Security Groups application.

You will first need to create a conditional expression in the Conditional Expression Manager
application using the following expression:

exists (select 1 from labor where status in (select value from
synonymdomain where
domainid='LABORSTATUS' and maxvalue='ACTIVE') and
laborcode=laborcraftrate.laborcode and orgid=laborcraftrate.orgid) 

Next you will need to go to Security / Security Groups , then Select Action / Global Data Restrictions and
add an Object Restriction on the LABORCRAFTRATE object. 

This work around is illustrated in the image below.
