UX Perceptive apps

What are Perceptive apps? If the IBM® Maximo® Real Estate and Facilities software team designed, developed, and delivered a UX application, then this exclusive type of UX app is called a "Perceptive" app.

With Perceptive apps, you can more easily meet business requirements with an intuitive user interface, compatibility with touch interfaces, and improved performance. Also, instead of tying forms to "things" like people and locations, views are tied to actions like creating and submitting requests. The following Perceptive apps are built upon the UX framework.

Reservation apps

Creating reservations with the Room Reservation Perceptive app

Make a reservation, add rooms or equipment to that reservation, add room service orders if needed, and move on to the next reservation.

Customizing the UX Room Reservation app: You can customize this React-based app by pulling the project, configuring your environment, then modifying, building, and deploying your customized app.

Creating reservations with the Room Search add-in

Look for available meeting rooms, add one or more rooms to your meeting invitation, and move on to the next invitation.

Space and Move apps

Creating space assessments with the Perceptive app: Create an assessment for a floor plan, select a space, add or remove people or assets from that space, and move on to the next space.
Managing space assessments with the Perceptive app: Review completed assessments, accept or reject any suggested (add or remove) actions for a space, and move on to the next space.
Dynamic space planning: You use the IBM Maximo Real Estate and Facilities Dynamic Space Planning (DSP) application effectively to manage various aspects of workspace planning, including floor plans, drawings, and stack plans. Using DSP, you can visualize space layouts, update floor configurations, and strategically assign organizational groups to different floors to better align space availability with demand.
Creating individual move requests with the Perceptive app: Create an individual move request, search when or where you want to move, select an available room, and submit the request.
Creating group move requests with the Perceptive app: Create a group move request, search whom and what items to move, select where and when you want to move them, and submit the request.

Work Task Management apps

Fulfilling work tasks in the work task services portal

Access the Work Task app or Service Request app, and create a work task or service request.

Fulfilling work tasks in the work task app

Enabling offline mode in the Perceptive apps: Enable the offline experience that is available through the Service Worker API.
UX BIM view: Gain a more interactive 3D experience when you look for rooms or assets within your building.

Assigning resources to tasks with the Perceptive app

View a list of work tasks, assign one or more tasks to one or more people, and edit the assignments.

Submitting self-service requests with the Perceptive app

Create a service request, select a request category, add details and comments to that request, and submit the request.

Workplace Services apps

Submitting requests with the Workplace Services portal: Access the Service Request app, Room Reservation app, or Move Me app, and create a service request, reservation, or move request.
Submitting self-service requests with the Perceptive app: Create a service request, select a request category, add details and comments to that request, and submit the request.
Creating reservations with the Room Reservation Perceptive app: Make a reservation, add rooms or equipment to that reservation, add room service orders if needed, and move on to the next reservation.
Creating individual move requests with the Perceptive app: Create an individual move request, search when or where you want to move, select an available room, and submit the request.
Locating people and rooms with the locate Perceptive app: Look for people such as employees, and look for rooms such as meeting spaces, workspaces, and other key rooms such as printing rooms or restrooms.

How are Perceptive apps different from foundation apps?

UX framework: Used generically as the "user experience" (UX) application framework, or more specifically as the IBM Maximo Real Estate and Facilities UX Framework for Perceptive Applications, this term refers to the MVC-based approach for UX applications. The model-view-controller (MVC) approach separates the application into three components or layers: the model, view, and controller. The view layer is built upon the Polymer or ReactJS library of reusable web components.
UX application (or app): During the app-designing process, this term refers to the application metadata that pulls together related model metadata and view metadata in the MVC-based approach. All of this metadata are built upon the UX framework. The model metadata defines the data sources that retrieve the data and trigger the business logic, while the view metadata defines the HTML components that render the interfaces.
Perceptive application (or app): If the IBM Maximo Real Estate and Facilities software team designed, developed, and delivered a UX application, then this term refers to this exclusive type of UX app. Perceptive apps are built upon the Polymer or ReactJS library of reusable web components. These apps enable organizations to more easily meet business requirements with an intuitive user interface, compatibility with touch interfaces, and improved performance.
Foundation application: This term refers to the familiar form-based type of Maximo Real Estate and Facilities application that is built upon the foundation IBM Maximo Real Estate and Facilities application platform.

In other words, if you built and extended your first UX apps by following the examples and exercises in UX app building, those apps are called custom UX apps, not Perceptive apps. By comparison, the Maximo Real Estate and Facilities Space apps are called Perceptive apps.
