Explore authentication versus authorization in Maximo configurations, including login credentials, security groups, and user assignments to grant role-based access and reassignment.

Apply object, attribute, and collection restrictions within security groups to control read-only access and updates for users and inventory items across assets.

Explore the trade-offs between conditional UI and data restrictions, and learn how to grant group-based access and visibility using signature options, security groups, and application designer configurations.

Explore global data restrictions in Maximo configurations, including object and attribute restrictions, read-only and required states, and how conditions and conditional expressions control which records and UI elements.

Customize the Maximo start center by configuring left and right column layouts (white narrow, narrow white, equal), creating and editing templates, and linking them to security groups, KPIs, and reports.

Learn to create ad hoc, on-the-fly reports in Maximo using the report action, select fields, build expressions, preview, and save, then run reports on service requests and inventory data.

Explore report administration in Maximo, including managing report libraries, importing library files, configuring logos, and securing object structures to create and review cross-object reports.

Explore how to configure Maximo escalations to automatically run actions and send notifications by querying records, defining escalation points, and using out-of-the-box or custom actions and communication templates.

Create and configure a cron task in Maximo using an automation script or stored procedure. Define name, history limits, run as user, and parameters to automate escalations and related processes.

Compare migration manager and integration framework to plan data load in Maximo across development, testing, and production, detailing foundation data versus transactional data and packaging for deployment.

Configure interface tables for inbound and outbound communication in Maximo by setting up the integration framework, channels, queues, and object structures to enable reliable message processing.

Discover how to enable and use application import and export in Maximo configurations, configure object structures, security groups, and apply exports and imports to the locations application.

Learn to build inbound and outbound maps with the JSON mapping application. Configure enterprise service settings and map inventory attributes and response data for Maximo configurations.

Json resources application in Maximo by creating rest resources, defining resource usage and endpoints, mapping properties to persistent objects, and outlining root objects and data samples.

Explore maintenance in Maximo, including preventive maintenance, calendar-based tasks, and condition-monitoring meters to optimize asset reliability, reduce downtime, and drive cost efficiency through work orders and preventive maintenance records.

Explore how to create preventive maintenance records and associated work orders, then generate seasonal forecasts for time-based maintenance using road stops and job plans to schedule assets and locations efficiently.

Learn Gosplan sequencing for maintenance of meter-based assets, using examples to assign job plans and sequence numbers. See how frequency criteria drive work order generation and preventive maintenance records.

Maximo condition monitoring generates work orders for assets when readings reach set upper or lower limits, using meters and job plans to support preventive maintenance and reduce downtime and costs.

Analyze performance measures for Maximo, focusing on system architecture, network and hardware, operating system and services, and application server configurations with clustering to improve performance.

Learn WebSphere application server tuning for Maximo configurations, including JVM initial and maximum heap sizing, garbage collection, thread pool settings, and operating system considerations to prevent out-of-memory conditions.

Tune and maintain the Maximo database server by optimizing indexing, separating indexes from data spaces, archiving old data, and tuning queries with appropriate search types and exists usage.

Maximo performance improves by tuning application settings and system properties, configuring database connections, query timeouts, fetch limits, and scheduling chron tasks and escalations for peak efficiency.
