User passwords in email communications
Maximo users have the ability to change password or reset it, where Maximo will send you an email notification with the password info for the user. However, some people have asked for a way to provide a notification that goes out to new users after their User account has been created that includes both their Username and Password. In the Communication Template you are able to include the username, but when you try to reference the user's password, it shows up as empty in the message. So, is there a way to include... [More]

Change password for users that do not have an email address
When you are creating users in Maximo 7, you may realize that Maximo needs a user email address in order for you to save the record. Out of the box, Maximo requires that you set the password and email it to the user. Of course some administrators may think that it is required to configure the SMTP in Maximo in order to do this. But... what if you don’t want to email the passwords to the user? or if they don’t even own an email address? Some users would like the "E-mail Password to... [More]

Improve User Efficiency by Adding Critical Information to the User Interface (Part 2)
One of Jakob Nielsen’s top ten rules for usability is: Minimize the user's memory load by making objects, actions, and options visible. The user should not have to remember information from one part of the dialogue to another. Sometimes adding an additional field or section into an application can greatly improve the efficiency of your end users. You can add fields or sections to an existing user interface through configuration by using the Application Designer. Here’s a tutorial on adding a simple field into the user interface that was posted... [More]

Increase Productivity by Simplifying the User Interface for your users
A best practice of User Interface design is to only show the information that a particular user cares about. To quote from Jakob Nielsen : "Dialogues should not contain information which is irrelevant or rarely needed. Every extra unit of information in a dialogue competes with the relevant units of information and diminishes their relative visibility." Showing only the information that your users care about can greatly increase their productivity and reduce your support and administrative costs. For example, you might want the... [More]
