Maximo Mentor Series: Session 3, Part 1 - Platform Configuration, Organizations and Security
Platform Configuration makes up a huge 26% of the certification exam, making it the single most heavily weighted domain in the C1000-183 exam. This session covers the organizational structures and security foundations that underpin everything else in Maximo.
Organizational Options
Data sharing across your Maximo environment follows specific mechanisms. Inventory sharing requires Item Sets, while data segmentation for assets and locations is handled at the Site level. Additional features include cross-site work orders via "Repair Facilities" options and material reservation management.
Security Groups
Access control is achieved through restrictive data restrictions and object structure permissions. Notably, users immediately see the Operational Dashboard upon logging in when it is set as the Default Application.
Labor & Crews
Calendar configurations operate at organizational levels. Shift patterns are calculated by summing working and non-working days. Craft premium pay codes support "Multipliers and Increments" as rate types.
Key Takeaways
- Calendars exist at Organization level; Assets/Locations at Site level.
- Premium pay codes support two rate types.
- Inactive sites are disabled rather than deleted.
