Workflows and business processes
Map approval and routing processes, then automate them with Maximo workflows: work order approval, purchase requisition limits, service request dispatch, and change control. Each step is recorded for audit.
Configuration and tailoring
Maximo workflows, application design, and database configuration
Maximo is designed to be configured rather than custom-coded. ASUITE uses the standard configuration tools to fit Maximo to your business processes while keeping the system upgradeable to future MAS releases.
Discuss your requirements →Configuration tools we work with
Workflow Designer
Workflow Designer is the graphical tool for building workflow processes from nodes such as tasks, conditions, inputs, and sub-processes. We design, test, and revise workflows, and tidy up legacy processes before an upgrade.
Application Designer
Application Designer changes application screens without code: add or remove fields, tabs, and sections, set mandatory fields, add lookups, and clone applications for specific roles.
Database Configuration
Database Configuration adds and modifies objects, attributes, indexes, relationships, and views in the Maximo data model. Changes are applied in a controlled way so the data dictionary stays consistent.
Synonym domains
A synonym domain maps your own terminology onto Maximo's internal values. Work order status is a common example: you can add a status such as Awaiting Client Approval as a synonym of an internal status, preserving standard system logic.
Table and other domains
A table domain draws its list of valid values dynamically from another Maximo object. Together with ALN, numeric, and crossover domains, they control data entry and keep records consistent.
Automation scripts and escalations
Automation scripts add business rules without Java customization, and escalations monitor records to send notifications or take action when conditions are met, such as an approaching SLA target.
Upgrade-safe practice
We document every configuration, favor standard tools over custom Java, and move changes between environments in a controlled way. This reduces effort and risk at each MAS upgrade.
Questions and answers
Maximo configuration: common questions
What is the difference between configuration and customization in Maximo?
Configuration uses Maximo's built-in tools, such as Application Designer, Database Configuration, workflows, and automation scripts. Customization changes or extends the underlying Java code. Configurations carry through upgrades far more easily.
What is a synonym domain in Maximo?
A synonym domain is a list of values in which each value you define is tied to an internal value that Maximo's logic understands. It lets you use your own names for statuses and types without breaking system behavior.
Do workflows survive an upgrade to MAS?
Workflows built with Workflow Designer carry forward to Maximo Manage. They should be regression tested, especially where they call custom code or integrations.
