MAS/Maximo Mobile for EAM 8.8 - Only the SR-related attachments are downloaded and visible

Question & Answer


Question

Why do we see only the SR-related attachments and not all the related objects for Locations/Assets in MAS/Maximo Mobile for EAM 8.8?

Cause

In earlier versions of MAS Mobile / Maximo Mobile for EAM, up to 8.7, we used to see the attachments from all the related objects for Locations/Assets in the Service Requests role-based application.
Starting Maximo Mobile for EAM 8.8 and forward, only the SR-related attachments will be visible, and not all the Locations/Assets-related objects. 

Answer

After further internal discussion with Development Team, the conclusion is that for Mobile, we should not download all the related record attachments to the SR as this is a big performance problem.  We should only display the attachment records which are directly related to the SR. 

This functionality will be observed starting Mobile version 8.8 and future versions.
