Maximo is riddled with functionality that is available to all with the installation of the basic product, yet only seasoned subject matter experts have uncovered. Some are even hidden in wide open places. This series will introduce the Maximo user to some of the new and long-time favorite prizes of Maximo pros. From templates for simplifying record creation and maintenance, or classifications for streamlining searches, to creating better key performance indicators for targeted business processes, Maximo provides a basket full of efficiency tools. You just need to know where to look.

How do you find material usage or labor transactions to find work order records based on that information? Simply do so by utilizing the relationship in place and modifying the application through the application designer to make the additional fields available to query.
