You know IBM Maximo has a lot of fields and sometimes can be boring entering data. Here are some keyboard shortcuts that can ease the pain. I have highlighted in bold the most common and useful ones.
- Tab > The most important keyboard shortcut is the TAB key. It allows you to move across fields without using the mouse and also performs data validation and auto-completion.
- Space > Select or clear a check box.
- Alt + F1 > Display field help for field in focus.
There are few other useful shortcuts to move across applications.
- Alt + C > Go to the Start Center.
- Alt + G > Open the Go To menu. Use the arrow keys to choose the desired app.
- Alt + B > Bulletins
- Alt + R > Reports
- Alt + P > Profile
- Alt + S > Sign Out
- Alt + H > Help
- Alt + R > Return
- Alt + W > Return with Value
Last but not least you can quickly create and save records with these Toolbar Buttons shortcuts.
- Ctrl + Alt + I > Insert New Record
- Ctrl + Alt + S > Save Record
- Ctrl + Alt + A > Change Status
- Ctrl + Alt + C > Clear changes
- Ctrl + Alt + P > Previous Record
- Ctrl + Alt + N > Next Record
This is a simplified list of the available keyboard shortcuts. For more information refer to the official documentation.
Maximo keyboard shortcuts
In Chrome and Internet Explorer, I've set up quick searches for work orders, assets, etc. Based on your previous article on Maximo URLs: http://maximodev.blogspot.com/2012/04/maximo-urls.html
For example, if I type WO in Chrome search, a quick search for work order appears. I just have to type the work order number and Chrome will go to the Maximo work order:
