Using Maximo Spatial
Asset Management
You use IBM®
Maximo® Spatial Asset Management to visualize
your assets, locations, work orders, and service requests in maps. Applications with maps enabled
by default include: Asset, Work Order, Service Request, Service Address, Labor, Incident, Location
and Activities, and Tasks.
Selecting values for spatially-enabled objects from the map
You can select values from map windows that you open from the Asset field and the Location field in spatially-enabled applications. Values for spatially-enabled objects can be returned to the application.
Map toolbar functions
The map toolbar contains all the tools that you use to work with the map.
Navigating maps
You can navigate the map in several ways such as zooming, panning, and creating map extents.
Adjusting the map
You can adjust the map so that only the areas that you want to see are represented.
Finding features and places
You use tools on the map toolbar to find and identify features and places on the map.
Viewing your map search results
Add results to the Results window to group and analyze lists of map features.
Creating map features for work orders and service requests
You can automatically create a map feature for work order and service request records.
Setting a linked map feature as the current application record
You can select a map feature and make it the current record in the application.
Creating sets of work orders and service requests
You can create sets of work orders and service requests for assets and locations.
Adding sketch elements to maps on your mobile device
The sketch tool can add and format geometric elements such as shapes, lines, and points, to any map on your mobile device. This can be useful to draw a polygon to define the boundaries of an area on the map, for example.

Creating map features for work orders and service requests
You can automatically create a map feature for work order and service request records.
Identify features on mobile devices
Use the Identify tool to locate map features and view their details from a mobile device. This feature works with both online or offline maps.
Sending map sketch notifications
You can configure Maximo Asset Management to automatically email information to users when you create a sketch on a map by using a mobile device.
Locating a record by using a feature
You can locate a record by identifying it on a map that displays features and then setting it as the current record. For example, if you want to open a work order for an asset but you cannot find the asset record, you can locate the feature on a map and then set it as the current record.
Updating work order assets from mobile devices
Update asset information appearing in a work order using a mobile device at the location.
Viewing feature details with the feature list
Linked map feature details can be viewed hierarchically by selecting one or more features on the map and then using the feature list view. You can review the relationship between features through details such as group membership and layer assignment.
Configuring the appearance of object symbols in maps
Customize how features appear in the map to quickly identify traits for the feature. For example, you can color-code multiple features to group them in a collection.
Accessing linked Maximo Asset Management records in a work center
Use the map tool in a Work Center to access Maximo Asset Management records linked to ArcGIS features directly from a map without opening multiple applications.
