Associating documents to query reports

You create an IBM® Maximo® Real Estate and Facilities query as an external query. The query acts as a link to the BIRT .zip file that you uploaded to the Document Manager. In the Document Manager, you select the BIRT report. You can use the report in many places throughout Maximo Real Estate and Facilities, such as form sections and portal sections.

Procedure

  1. In Maximo Real Estate and Facilities, open the Report Manager.
  2. Select System Reports > New.
  3. In the General tab, set the Type to External.
  4. In the Business Objects tab, select the module, business object, and form for the report. These values might be the same as the values selected to create the starter report.
  5. In the Options tab, in the Document field, search for the name of the compressed BIRT report file that you uploaded.
  6. Optional: Select Queued. The report runs asynchronously and the user is notified when the report is ready to view.
  7. Select Save & Close.
