What is Maximo Everyplace?

Access to the same Maximo you use from desktop browsers, but with expanded browser support

– Mobile Safari (for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch)

– Native browser on Android 2.1 and 2.2 devices

Ability to configure screens for mobile devices running supported browsers through special App Designer features

– Configuration happens on a desktop machine, not a mobile device

Start with an existing application. Clone it. (Or, create a new app from scratch.)

Design for the right screen size by using the appropriate viewport

Make the screen elements touchscreen-friendly by switching to the mobile skin

Eliminate anything that’s not absolutely necessary: Strategic deletion

Grant access via security groups

Have users configure their mobile Start Center

Does it work on a Blackberry?

No

Only adds support for the Mobile Safari and Android browser

Maximo Everyplace will work on devices using browsers we currently support like IE and Firefox, so devices like the Panasonic Toughbook as well as many tablet PCs are supported

We intend to add support for more browsers and devices going forward.

– Browsers using the webkit engine are the most likely targets as they seem to handle Maximo best, so the Blackberry Torch is a future target that we are evaluating now

What’s included and not included

New Application Designer functionality to make designing for different screen sizes easier

A new look for Maximo applications that can be applied on a per-application basis. It makes interacting with Maximo easier on a touch screen

No new apps are included. Rather, we’re delivering the toolkit in the Application Designer to help customers make their own applications easier to use across a range of devices.

– Two sample XMLs are shipped as models.

All the functionality of Maximo 7.1.1.7 that is configurable via the Application Designer is available for use in Maximo Everyplace applications

Why Can’t I Use Regular Maximo on my iPad?

You could, but:

The iOS browser is not an officially supported Maximo browser; that browser is supported for Maximo Everyplace, along with all the browsers that Maximo supports plus Android 2.1 and higher.

Maximo is not designed to be interacted with on a touch screen. You may find some elements difficult to click accurately with your finger. Maximo Everyplace is designed to be used on a small touchscreen.

Choose the appropriate viewport size in App Designer

iPhone size comes pre-loaded; add others via a domain. The Viewport size corresponds to the size of the red box

Adding More Viewport Sizes

Add more viewports via the Domains application. Once added, the new viewport(s) will immediately appear in the Application Designer

Use appropriate look for a touchscreen

Select Is Mobile checkbox to switch to a look that includes larger fonts and screen elements that are easier to control with your finger instead of a mouse

Use the new application on any device with a supported browser

The Viewport size is saved in the presentation and helps you design better apps in the Application Designer, but it doesn’t limit the user’s ability to use the same app on different devices.
