HOW TO CHANGE THE FIELD COLOR USING THE DESIGNER

CONDITIONAL PROPERTIES IN MAXIMO 7.1

1. Go to the “Conditional expression manager” module found in the “Administration” menu.

For this exercise we’ll create 5 conditions with names WOPRTYEQ1 to WOPRTYEQ5, the
conditions to be entered will be the followings:

WOPRTYEQ1

WOPRTYEQ2 to WOPRTYEQ5

Use the expressions “:wopriority = <corresponding priority>” where <corresponding priority>

goes from 2 to 5
2. Enter the “Applications designer” module found at “System configuration”  “Platform
configuration”, inside this module edit the application “WOTRACK”, select the tab “Work
order” and get the properties for the WOPRIORITY field inside the application, as we show in
the next screen:

Use “READ” as “Signature Option” and click the “Configure Conditional Properties” button
Use EVERYONE as the security group, because the condition should be available for all the
users, you can specify a security group containing only users with access to the WOTRACK
application, both are valid options.

Enter the defined conditions WOPRTYEQ1 to WOPRTYEQ5

For each entered condition enter the following properties

Condition: WOPRTYEQ1
Property: cssclass
Value: bgred txtwhite

Condition: WOPRTYEQ2
Property: cssclass
Value: bgblue txtwhite
Condition: WOPRTYEQ3
Property: cssclass
Value: bgmaroon txtwhite

Condition: WOPRTYEQ4
Property: cssclass
Value: bgorange txtwhite

Condition: WOPRTYEQ5
Property: cssclass
Value: bggreen txtwhite

You should get a screen similar to the following:

Click the OK button and save the application, enter the “Work order tracking” application and
try it by changing the values of “Priority” field you’ll see changing the background color of the
field according to the entered value.
