Application definition components

The default Facilities Management – Primary application definition is a good reference for understanding application definitions, the application definition components, and how the components are used. The application definition components that you might need to customize or create include CAD mappings, CAD hierarchy nodes, and the CAD application definition record. The configured application definitions and components are available to all Maximo® Real Estate and Facilities users.

An application definition defines the relationships between the objects in a CAD drawing and the Maximo Real Estate and Facilities records that the objects can interact with. The default application definition supports the attachment of CAD drawing information for floors, spaces, and the objects in the spaces. Spaces might be offices, and the objects in the spaces might be assets and people. You might be able to use some of the default components in a custom application definition.

All of the application definition components are in the CAD Integrator menu of the Maximo Real Estate and Facilities Administration Tools. You create or customize application definitions and components in the Maximo Real Estate and Facilities environment.
