Maximo Open Forum

Hello,

Is there's a way to configure the order of the values within an ALN domain? Like adding a Sequence column or something similar?

The aim is then to display the data in a specific sequence within an external Mobile system.

Thanks for your help...

There isn't a column out of the box and domains are an internal object so you can't add a new column to it in a supported way. And assuming you're talking about something in the classic (IE Application Designer) interface, you can't store this sequence in another table while still utilizing the domain framework for the rest of it. If you need to provide a numeric sequence (not something like sorting alphabetically), you'll need to create a new object in Maximo to store the values & sequence. There's a lot of functionality in the domain framework from caching in the REST API, validation, etc. but it's a relatively simple structure to recreate.  

This would be a good enhancement to the product, and I wasn't able to find an idea out there. It won't help in the near term, but it would be good to submit it here: IBM Sustainability Software - Ideas Portal
