Abstract
From the Maximo Support Desk - Viewing Multiple Crafts for the Same Labor Record in Assignment Manager
Body
You've likely discovered that a Labor record can have more than one Craft associated, but you've observed that only the default Craft of each Labor is being displayed in the Assignment Manager - this is the "out of the box" design. That could be perceived as counter-intuitive to the functionality that the Crafts component is intended to provide. (oops, did I just say that?) The good news is that there is a relatively simple configuration that you can implement to display more than one Craft for the same Labor in Assignment Manager.
Use this procedure to configure the display:
- Go to Configuration | Application Designer
- In the Application field enter "workman" and press Enter
- Click on the record for WORKMAN to open it (Assignment Manager application)
- Click on the Control Palette icon
- Click on the Table Column control
- Drag it onto the form in the Labor List section
- Close the Control Palette icon
- With this control highlighted click on the Control Properties icon
- In the Attribute field | Select Value | enter "defaultcraft" in the Attribute field and press Enter
- Click on DEFAULTCRAFT to select it
- In the Input Mode field | Select Value | click on Query
- Save the record
- Close the Table Column Properties dialog box
To use the functionality:
- Go to Work Orders | Assignment Manager
- In the Labor List section click on Filter
- The value in the Default Craft for Labor? field will be 1; this needs to be changed to 0 to show the non-default Crafts:
- With the value highlighted enter 0 and press Enter; this will show the non-default Crafts for the Labor codes.
Hopefully this will help you out with your work assignment duties.
