QuickPick™ Custom Business Rules, Validation, and Security for Maximo
QuickPick is a software tool that integrates with Maximo, adding
customization capabilities that increase the efficiency of Maximo administrators and
users. QuickPick unleashes the creativity of the Maximo administrator, providing
them with tools that include the greatest functionality and the most features.
Minimize Errors and Improve Data Quality
QuickPick ensures that information is properly entered on a Maximo screen by
validating it against your business rules. It can prevent a transaction from being saved
with missing or invalid data. Use the values entered into one or more fields in
Maximo to determine entries into other fields. You can easily create
mandatory fields with complex data entry rules. And users benefit from custom error
messages that help them overcome their error.
Simplify Data Lookup in Maximo
QuickPick can intelligently limit lengthy Maximo value lists to display only relevant
values. Value lists can be generated dynamically based upon pre-defined rules or values entered into other Maximo fields. You can display an unlimited number of columns (with user-defined headings) in your value lists, and can filter, sort, copy, and print your value list displays. QuickPick value lists descriptions can exceed the 30-character limitation of standard Maximo.
Present the User with a Custom View
Maximo field information can be presented to users based upon their operating location or business unit so they see, for example, only valid account codes or valid supervisors. Restrictions can be enforced at the field level in Maximo, and users can
be prevented from entering or viewing unauthorized field-level data.
Eliminate the Need for Java Programming
Embed your own business rules, no matter how complex they are, into Maximo using
QuickPick's administrative tools. QuickPick can emulate the functionality of complex
database procedures, such as triggers, functions, and stored procedures without the
cost or delay of Java programming.
Integration with Maximo
QuickPick conforms to all of IBM's development guidelines. For Maximo 5.x, QuickPick is comprised of Java extensions in line with recommended development guidelines provided by IBM for customizing Maximo. QuickPick for Maximo 5.x utilizes the Maximo Developer's Toolkit supplied by IBM as the standard mechanism for extending the client server versions of Maximo.
QuickPick is a stable, robust framework for Maximo customization and is used by thousands of Maximo customers around the world.
Reduce Maintenance Efforts
Custom business rules can be easily created and maintained in the QuickPick administration module. Anyone who can write a SQL query or formulate a database filter can administer QuickPick.
