To launch MapEngine, you need a button to push.  Here’s how you add the button to a Maximo application (in this case using Work Order Tracking as the example):

Create Launch Entry Record

Go to System configuration > Platform Configuration > Launch in Context and create a new launch entry with the following values:

1. Launch Entry Name: MAPENGINE
2. Description: Launch MapEngine
3. Console URL: /maximo/webclient/activeg/mappages/MapEngine.htm
4. Target Browser Window: _blank

Create Signature Option

1. Open wotrack.xml in Application Designer
2. Click Select Action Dropdown and select Add/Modify Signature Options
3. Click New Row, and fill in the following options:
   • Option: AGMAP
   • Description: Launch MapEngine
   • Visible: Checked
   • Advanced Signature Options
   • Check “Associate to launch entry to enable launch in context”
   • Launch Entry Name: MAPENGINE

Create Toolbar Button

1. Open Application Designer from the Start Menu.
2. Choose an application to edit (such as WOTRACK).
3. From the Select Action menu, choose Add/Modify Toolbar Menu.
4. Click New Row.
5. Fill out the fields, like so:
   • Element Type: OPTION
   • Key Value: AGMAP
   • Header Description: Launch MapEngine
   • Position: 80 (or whatever works for the page)
   • Subposition: 0
   • Image: nav_icon_mapengine.png
   • Visible?: Checked
   • Tabs: ALL

Grant User Permissions

Next, you need to grant users the ability to see and access the MapEngine button.

Go to Security > Security Groups and grant access to the MapEngine button, as shown below:

Important: Repeat this toolbar process for any other Maximo applications from which you want to open the MapEngine tab.

Note: If you want to see the MapEngine icon along with the Launch MapEngine text, you will need to copy the nav_icon_mapengine.png file from the …webclient\activeg\images directory and paste it into the appropriate skins directory, such as …webclient/skins//tivoli13/images/nav_icon_mapengine.png.

Finally, you’ll need to make sure that the Maximo application has the necessary MapEngine XML tag applied to the application XML.
