Utilities Overview:

Utilities provides features to create, manage, and assign crews, and to create compatible unit (CU) records and perform estimates for CU work. Utilities includes applications enhanced with geographic information system (GIS) features and functions. Use GIS-enabled applications to create, view, and manage spatially-enabled assets, locations, service requests, and work orders.

Utilities provides these capabilities in the following new and cloned applications:

• Assets (T&D)

• Crew Management (T&D)

• Crew Types (T&D)

• CU Estimating (T&D)

• CU Library (T&D)

• GIS Admin (T&D)

• Locations (T&D)

• Work Order Tracking (T&D)

In order to support the Utilities applications, Maximo contains the following cloned applications:

• Assignment Manager (T&D)

• Job Plans (T&D)

• Labor Reporting (T&D)

• Organizations (T&D)

• Purchase Contracts (T&D)

• Quick Reporting (T&D)

NOTE: Utilities-specific application names contain "(T&D)". T&D stands for "transmission and distribution."

If you customized any of the core Maximo applications that the clones are based on, you must make the same customizations to the cloned applications after you install Utilities.
