New in configuring Maximo Asset Management 7.6
You can now create applications that are based on the database views that you import. You can also use the Content Installer application to download Process Content Packs (PCPs) to get best practice data that saves configuration effort. PCPs are available for the key processes of Maximo® Asset Management and most take only a few minutes to download.
When you first install Maximo
Asset Management,
you are provided with minimal data to get started. You can now install content packs that contain
predefined artifacts and sample data that you can later modify to suit your needs. The packs are
version-specific and most take minutes to download, saving you configuration time. You use the
Content Installer application to locate, download, and install the content packs. The content tab of
the Content Installer displays a list of the content packages that are available for Maximo
Asset Management. The Content Installer Enabler is an
application license key that provides access to the Content Installer application in your product
environment. Learn more about the Content Installer Enabler
Packs are available for Work Management,
Inventory Management, Purchasing or Procurement, and Classifications.
Packs come with artifacts, such as Start Centers, security groups,
workflows, roles, actions, and escalations. For example, with the
Work Management content pack, you receive a complete work management
system with a set of workflows to manage work orders that are generated
from multiple sources. The work management pack includes artifacts
such as basic workflows and work types, work log entries, actions,
roles, person and security groups, saved queries, communication templates,
and escalations. The PCPs are provided with some assumptions about
the processes that you use. For example, the Work Management pack
assumes that you use standard inventory processes, but you can reconfigure
the contents of the pack if necessary. Learn more about Process Content
