Hi Maximo Open Forum,

Sometimes it can be the small things in Maximo that ends up being a game changer for a user's workflow. For me, one of my teammates pointed out the icon on Start Center portlets recently called Open Result Set in Application.

When you click this icon, it takes you to the application with the same results with the where clause already applied.

The difference is:
You can now tab through the records
You can navigate using list view
You can take action on each record

Instead of working inside the portlet, you are now in the full application with the same data set. This exists in both Maximo 7.6 and MAS. It is a small feature, but it can make working through records much easier.

If you use this function, share it with your team and remind them of this helpful feature. What are some other small features that are game changers in your Maximo workflow?

Happy #TipTuesday

Opening the result set in the application is also more efficient than working in the list view to open records.

If a user uses the result set to open individual records & returns to the portlet then the start centre is loaded again.

I discuss the impact of this behaviour in this article - https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/using-sql-tracing-start-centre-performance-problems-mark-robbins/
