  • 1.  Adding a "Go to application" to a control item

    Posted 02-13-2025 08:53

    Hi,

    In our "Asset" application, we have a 'History' tab where we can view previous work orders for the asset.  I'd like the user to be able to go to the work order application using the "Go to application" menu for the Work Order #, but there doesn't seem to be a way to do it in the Application Designer.  It all comes up as 'read only'.

    Here is a screenshot of what I mean:

    Looking at the XML, this whole "Work Order" section is just a control....which I guess is why I can't edit it through the Application Designer:

    <tabgroup id="historytab_tabgrp1">
    <tab default="true" id="historytab_tabgrp1_wotab" label="Work Orders">
    <section id="historytab_tabgrp1_wotab_s1">
    <checkbox dataattribute="plustincludewotasks" id="historytab_tabgrp1_wotab_s1_1"/>
    </section>
    <include controltoclone="plustastdt_tabgrp1_historytab_tabgrp1_wotab_wotable" id="INCLUDE-plustastdt_tabgrp1_historytab_tabgrp1_wotab_wotable"/>
    <include controltoclone="plustastdt_tabgrp1_historytab_tabgrp1_wotab_taskstable" id="INCLUDE-plustastdt_tabgrp1_historytab_tabgrp1_wotab_taskstable"/>
    </tab>
    Does anyone know of a way to edit this control so that I can add the "Go to application" functionality to the Work Order field??

    Thanks!

    Hi Brian,

    On that Work Order field in XML try adding - 1. menutype="hyperlink" or 2. menutype="WOTRACK" and on of this will solve your problem.

    Hi,

    Thanks for the input!  The problem is that the "Work Order" field is only referenced through this line in the XML for the app:

    <include controltoclone="plustastdt_tabgrp1_historytab_tabgrp1_wotab_wotable" id="INCLUDE-plustastdt_tabgrp1_historytab_tabgrp1_wotab_wotable"/>

    So I guess this means I would need to find where the control 'plustastdt_tabgrp1_historytab_tabgrp1_wotab_wotable' exists within Maximo and then edit it??

    I'm not that familiar with the design of Maximo and how all these forms work, but I have experience with Form design in Visual Studio C#.  Just trying to get some ideas on how to solve this.
