Learn more about what’s new and changed in Maximo Mobile 8.10.

Work orders

  • In the work log, you can now expand the Note field to add a summary for your note. You can also add much longer notes than before.
  • As you complete the tasks on a work order, you can record observations and measurements.
  • You can include comments when you report failures so that you can better describe the details.
  • You can now view classifications on a work order.

Assets

  • You can now create and edit assets in the app and change the status of the asset.

Inspections

  • During an inspection, you can upload a photo and select Analyze photo. You can continue the inspection while the photo is analyzed to detect anomalies. When the analysis is complete, you can review and edit the results. This feature is configured in the Manage Inspection Forms tool. For more information, see Enabling photo analysis by Maximo Visual Inspection

Onboarding tour

  • A short overview tour of the navigator is available to help new users get started with the app.

Data updates

  • The Data update page now shows the status of uploads and downloads. The information is divided into four sections: Transaction upload, Configuration data, Functions, and Record data. The four sections are processed in sequence, with each section starting the update only when the previous category is complete.
  • Errors are also shown inline on the Data update page instead of a separate page so that users can troubleshoot in context.
  • Transactions are grouped by object and an error in one transaction blocks all other transactions that belong to the same object. To continue the upload, you can retry the transaction, go to the object and fix the error, or you can delete the transaction.
  • Tap the refresh icon on the Data update page to update data. You can specify the record data to update by tapping the options icon on the Data update page. To fully update your record data, open the navigator and tap Settings.

For more information, see Refreshing data
