It is a native Maximo solution which, as such, does not require any infrastructural extensions or specific skills other than those on Maximo itself
The boards relate (in a kind of virtual matrix) any Maximo object, or a calendar, allowing the characteristics of the cells representing the intersection of the two defined coordinates to be defined
The information content referring to cells can be themed with colours and icons, according to specific conditional expressions in the system, in order to highlight important or critical data and/or situations in a simple and intuitive way
A direct link to the corresponding applications can be defined on the core elements of the coordinates, thus facilitating intuitive navigation
It is also possible to define a direct link on cells (with the same purpose) but, above all, it is possible to invoke specific actions, which make it possible to obtain intuitively, and with a single click, actions that on the Maximo interface could be very laborious, in full compliance with the application rules that Maximo itself imposes
A dedicated toolbar is provided to allow the user to perform actions on the boards (such as searches, queries, graphical settings, etc.)
Each board can be provided with graphic KPIs summarising the information displayed in an analytical manner
