Maximo Open Forum

There was a similar topic in this forum here, but my error is different. I have followed the tech document as suggested in that post.

1. Added the Attachments control to app in Application Designer
2. Modified the XML "attachments" section
3. Created the relationship in Database Configuration

The one suggestion that I'm not sure how to do is "You can do this via SQL insert statements or you can expose the actions & dialog (the Attachment Library/Folders->Associate Folders)." Not sure how to expose the Attach Library functionality. I am in a SaaS environment if that makes a difference. I don't have direct access to the database if that is required.

The error I get is

1) Go to Application Designer and open the application

2) In the select action->Add/Modify Signature Options add a new security option (name is important)

Option: ASSOCFOLD

Description: Associate Folders
3) Click OK to close the dialog

4) In the select action->Add/Modify Select Action Menu add a new menu entry

Element Type: OPTION

Key Value: ASSOCFOLD

Position: 400

Subposition: 30

Tabs: ALL

5) Click OK to save and close the dialog

6) Navigate to the Security Group application and grant the permission to your security group (open your app and filter for Associate Folders)

7) Save and log out of Maximo

8) Go to the application and you'll see an Associate Folders action. NOTE: If you do not, you may have an issue with other sessions for your user impacting the security cache.

9) Click the action and add your folders.


You could script this quite a few different ways via an automation script. But this is the traditional framework for doing this.
