Create Work Types in Maximo

This seems like a simple one, but if you are new to Maximo, finding the right place to add new work types can be bit of a pain.

To create new work types, you must go into the Organization module:

1. Go to the Organizations application and select the organization that you want to create a work type for.
2. From the “Select Action” menu choose “Work Order Options”.
3. Select “Work Type”.
4. Click on “New Row”.
5. Choose a work order class that you want to associate your work type with (WORKORDER, RELEASE, CHANGE, ACTIVITY etc.).
6. Give the work type a name and description.
7. If necessary you can also set the status to denote a task’s start or finish for sequencing purposes with regard to Flow Control at this point.
8. Save the record.

Easy stuff, once you know where to start. [IBM Support]
