Abstract
BiLog: Indecisiveness...Maximo BI Packs
Body
I can’t decide. Some days I want a pie. Other days, I only want a bar.
The new Maximo BI Workspaces are perfect for my indecisiveness. I can change the display of the metrics from a pie, to a bar or from a wide range of other graph types. Using the Work Order Metrics by Classification workspace as an example, I initially view the Backlog work order metric in column format.
This column format is very clear, but I want to re-structure this metric so I can view the data differently. Within the metrics or widgets toolbar, I simply select ‘Change Display Type’ and I’m presented with a variety of display options to choose from. I quickly select line and 3D graph type.
Within a matter of minutes, I can view my Work Order Backlog metric in a variety of formats. The wide variety of display options available provide incredible insight and visualization capabilities into the Maximo data sets.
I still can't decide which format I like best. To help you determine which you like best, you can view this functionality in a variety of recorded demos which are available here.
The demo recordings include a 7 minute demo on 'Customizing your Workspaces' using the various graph options with the features noted here.
