Hide or change fields behavior on Maximo screen using Conditional Expression

 

A very useful utility to hide,disable,change properties to any element on Maximo screen is via conditional expression.

 

For example, you want to change color of status field to red in case if the asset is in  decommissioned status.

To achieve this you will create a condition to test the decommissioned status and use this in the application designer application.

 

Go to conditional expression manager to create a new condition

Create a new condition

1. Give name of condition (For e.g status color)
2. expression – status=’DECOMMISSIONED’
3. enable the evaluate condition checkbox

 

Now navigate to application designer and select the field we want to hide or disable.

Click on the control properties and navigate to advanced tab.

You will see conditional properties tab at the bottom, click on it and a new dialog will appear.

 

Now click ok and move out of app designer.

Navigate to one of the asset which is in decommissioned status, you will see the color of status is red.

 

Similarly there are hundred other properties of a field which can be changed via a conditional expression.
