MaxEdit: Rename Maximo Records

Rename Records from Inside Maximo.

  • For Maximo administrators who need to rename records, the Ontracks MaxEdit Rename Tool is a built-in Maximo add-on that renames key records directly from inside Maximo, using the Maximo user interface. Unlike services or older rename tools, our product is built right into Maximo itself and allows the renaming of almost all key records, not just Locations.

Benefits

  • Keep your IBM Maximo’s record up-to-date with your changing environment

  • No need to pay for a services-engagement when you wish to rename a record

  • Allows super-users or business experts to change the records without IT involvement

Overview

It’s a common and almost inevitable problem most Maximo installations face, especially as the system gets older and business units get added, organizations change or, in a lot of cases, mistakes get made when creating Locations, Assets, Companies, etc. in Maximo: you will want to change its name or ID.

  • Features

    MaxEdit will rename
    the following record types:


    1. Locations
    2. Assets
    3. Companies (Vendors)
    4. Items
    5. Job Plans

What folks are saying:

At the time the Location name we selected made perfect sense. However, with the change in our Plant ownership, we need to change the identifier without losing any history or other important information. MaxEdit gave me the flexibility to do this from within the Maximo application itself!”
