Alternative Maximo Mobile Solutions• Maximo Anywhere
− Role specific mobile apps that can be installed on a portable device− Hybrid application model – works on both connected and disconnected devices− Control the frequency of connection between the app and Maximo MobileFirst
server− Additional features: record live signatures, use maps functionality, QR code scanner− Steeper learning curve, requires setting up an Eclipse based IDE to develop and
deploy apps− Development of apps using Anywhere is usually more time consuming
• Maximo Everyplace − Most Maximo applications can be converted into mobile applications− No purchase required with 7.6 – mobile access to licensed applications included− No installation required − Only works on connected devices using supported browsers− Quick and easy to setup, leverages existing Application Designer functionality
• Third party mobile solutions
Initial Setup for Maximo Everyplace
• Configure Viewports based on the screen resolution of your mobile devices
• Set up at a mobile Start Center that is displayed when you log in from a mobile device
Creating Mobile Applications
• To create a mobile version of an application, clone the existing application in Application Designer and select the “Is Mobile” checkbox.
• Alternatively, create a new application and select the “Is Mobile” checkbox.
• Set a size for the Viewport based on the screen size of your mobile device.
• Delete unnecessary fields, buttons and sections for a simpler design.
• A red border outlines the portion of the application visible on the chosen viewport.
Modifying Mobile Applications
• Move fields from the right side of the application screen to the bottom to avoid horizontal scrolling
• Use multiple tabs to avoid excessive vertical scrolling
• Convert Select Action options to toolbar buttons
• Increase the width of text boxes to display complete information wherever applicable
Deploying Mobile Applications
• Add users and assign the start center template to the Everyplace Security Group
• Users must configure their start centers on a desktop computer first (one-time configuration)
• Go To menu is not displayed, use Favorite Applications or Result Set portlets instead
