Key Benefits of IBM Graphite Updates in MAS Manage 9
The latest updates to IBM Graphite in Manage 9 mark a significant improvement in usability and functionality. With the migration of the final work center application from Google Polymer to IBM Graphite, users can now enjoy a refined experience while maintaining operational consistency. Here’s a closer look at the benefits these updates bring to Maximo users.
Seamless Transition to a Modernized UI
One of the highlights of this migration is that no changes were made to functionality or the database structure, ensuring a smooth transition for users. What you’ll find instead is a redesigned user interface that aligns with other role-based applications, delivering a more cohesive and intuitive experience without disruptions to your existing processes.
Enhanced Placement of Inspection Forms
Inspection Forms, which were previously managed under “Manage Inspection Forms,” have moved to a more logical location within the role-based applications planning group. This thoughtful reorganization simplifies navigation, making it easier for users to locate and work with forms as part of their workflows.
Stricter Validation for Numeric Responses
To ensure better control over entered data, stricter validation rules have been introduced for numeric responses. This change minimizes errors and enhances the accuracy of captured data, which is especially crucial for tasks involving compliance, safety, or performance metrics.
Image Analysis for Added Functionality
The updated Inspection Forms now support advanced image analysis using Maximo Visual Inspection (MVI). While this feature requires explicit enablement, it provides organizations with powerful tools to analyze visual data, boosting capabilities in areas such as quality control or site assessments.
Improved Performance on Mobile Devices
Mobile usability is another key focus of this update. Users can now download Inspection Forms once and execute them multiple times, streamlining workflows and reducing operational delays. This enhancement is particularly valuable for field teams relying on consistent and efficient mobile functionality.
Why These Updates Matter
The transition to IBM Graphite not only brings a modernized interface but also introduces thoughtful updates that improve usability and operational efficiency. Features like enhanced validation, support for image analysis, and improved mobile performance offer tangible benefits for teams, enabling smoother operations and more reliable data management.
With these updates, IBM Graphite furthers Maximo’s ability to deliver tools that meet the needs of modern organizations, helping users achieve better outcomes with less friction. These changes underline the importance of prioritizing user experience and efficiency in the evolution of role-based applications within the Maximo ecosystem.
