Maximo Open Forum

Hi everyone,

I'm working on a feature in IBM Maximo and could use some advice on improving the user experience. Here's the scenario:

Scenario: In our system, we have multiple GIS layers that correspond to different asset types. I need to create a dynamic hyperlink in the Asset application that redirects users to the correct WEBGIS layer based on the asset's classification. The idea is that when a user clicks the link, it should open the WEBGIS system and automatically search for the asset using its ASSETNUM.

What I've done so far: I've created a script that generates the dynamic link and saves it in a field (for example, the longdescription field). However, I then have to manually copy and paste this link into a new browser tab to open the WEBGIS system. This isn't very efficient, and I would much prefer if users could click the link directly within Maximo, without the need for manual copying and pasting. Maybe I'm missing some configurations in app designer or sig.option, or I dont know else where. 

Questions:

1. How can I set this up so that the hyperlink is clickable within Maximo, allowing users to open the WEBGIS system with a single click?
2. Has anyone implemented dynamic hyperlink generation in Maximo that directly opens the link based on an asset's classification?
3. What would be the best approach to automatically update and enable this functionality within Maximo (using Application Designer, scripting, or any other method)?
4. Any suggestions for handling multiple asset types and ensuring the correct GIS layer is selected dynamically?

I'd love to hear your thoughts or experiences with similar setups.

Thanks in advance for your help!

If you have the dynamic link generated, would you want to store the value as a URL in the DOCINFO table and link it via the DOCLINKS to it is displayed as an attachment in a table?

This is the attachment table of the View SR application (an example)

Clicking the link will redirect you to a URL stored in the URL column of the DOCINFO table. Would that help storing your generated URL and click to redirect to the WEBGIS system, assuming the URL is fully generated to display your required output.
