IBM Maximo Skins

Different Skins in IBM Maximo

It’s that time again. End of support for another Maximo version. With that comes a lot of upgrades, a lot of training, and in some cases, people missing the old look of Maximo. To make the transition easier, IBM has provided a way for users to choose between three different skins.

You even have the choice of changing the skin temporarily for your session only or globally for all sessions to come.

Changing your Maximo skin for a single session

To change the skin for a single session simply append “&skin=” and the appropriate skin identifier to the end of your Maximo URL then reload the page.
