From the Maximo Support Desk - Cannot View Work Log Entries In Internet Explorer 10 and 11

Body

UPDATE...  the issue described in this article was resolved with an APAR and subsequent Feature Pack releases as described in the following documents:

IV78835: ERRORS WHEN USING IE11 COMPATIBILITY MODE AND MAXIMO 7.6.0.2.

Force Maximo not to use Internet Explorer Compatibility View

Several Maximo Users have observed that they cannot view saved Work Log entries in their Internet Explorer 10 and 11 browsers...

In this scenario, it's likely that you need to add your maximo domain site to the Compatibility View dialog in the Internet Explorer browser.

1. In Internet Explorer 10 or 11, Go To Tools | Compatibility View Settings
2. Add your maximo website domain into the "Add this website" field, then press the Add button
3. Click the Close button
4. You will have to restart your browser for it to take effect

For example, my Maximo login URL is similar to:

http://testing.example.ibm.com:9876/maximo/webclient/login/login.jsp

So, the string that I entered in the Compatibility View field in IE is "ibm.com".

Go ahead, click that URL, it won't work. :)
