Setting up a cross-reference control

You can set up a cross-reference control when you need a control that replaces one value with another. A cross-reference control can map a value in the asset management system to a value in the external system.

Before you begin

The value that you assign for translation must first exist in the control definition in the Publish Channels or Enterprise Services application. If that definition points to a domain, the organization-level or site-level values that you assign must exist in that domain.

1. In the External Systems application, display the system that you want to update.
2. Select the Setup Integration Controls action.
3. Select the cross-reference control that you want to update.
4. Click New Row.
5. In the Maximo Value field, enter the application value that the asset management system converts to or from an external system value.
6. In the External Value field, enter the external system value the asset management system converts to or from the Maximo value.
7. Click OK to close the Cross-Reference Control dialog box.
8. Click OK to close the Setup Integration Controls dialog box.
