Launch In Context How To’s

What is “launch in context”?  It is a feature that lets you take the current record you are viewing and take certain values from the object and launch a URL.  For example, if you are viewing a workorder, you can add a hyperlink button somewhere on the page and when you click on it, you can go directly to the labor reporting module within Maximo and see all the labor hours for the current workorder.  You can set it up to pass the WONUM parameter to the URL or any parameter you want.  You can even launch an external application with those variables.  Here are some helpful links to set them up… [IBM Support]
