Question & Answer
Question
What conditional user interface features are provided in IBM® Maximo® Asset Configuration Manager?
Cause
Maximo Asset Configuration Manager implements conditional user interface (UI) features in some applications. That is, some fields and other user interface controls are displayed only if specific conditions are met. This function is called Conditional UI.
Answer
Products installed on Tivoli process automation engine use metadata to control the visibility and use of controls (elements of the user interface) that are used in each product applications, based on conditions relevant to the use of the control. The metadata is stored in the APPLICATIONAUTH table of IBM Maximo Asset Management database.
The metadata is configured for the security group that contains all users. This group name is specified in the Group for All Users option of the Security Controls section, under the Users or Security Groups application. Do not delete this group or remove members from it; the user interface will not work properly for a user that is not a member of this group. You can add your own configurations to this group in order to implement new conditions. Do not remove configurations supplied with the product.
For more information about Conditional UI, refer to IBM Maximo Asset Management Developing Applications guide.
