Standard IMAC Services

All standard IMAC actions have a common starting point:

Calling the IMAC Actions

The actions can be started in several ways:

• Using the 'Execute IMAC actions' Smart Tiles on the Start Pages of Asset-related business views.

  Start Pages of individual business modules have been pre-customized to contain Smart Tiles as links to the most commonly used actions and catalogs. Using the tile on the Asset Manager and Asset Support start pages is the fastest way to call the 'Asset management IMAC actions' dialog.

  Note: If not present, tiles can be easily added by start page customization.

• Using Smart Tiles from the 'Tiles' InfoObject.

  The 'Tiles' InfoObject provides access to all available Smart Tiles, 'Execute IMAC actions' included.

• Calling the action from the sidebar of Asset-related business views.

  Action 'IMAC services...' found in the 'Actions' sidebar section of Asset-related business views calls the 'Asset management IMAC service actions' dialog.

  You may need to add the InfoObject(s) to the Work Perspective. When adding the 'Sidebar' InfoObject, make sure that 'Asset Manager' or 'Asset Support' is the current business view (as sidebar content is business view specific).

• Calling the action from System catalogs and other GUI elements according to customization
  • The right-click context menu of System catalogs provides the 'IMAC services...' action which calls the 'Asset management IMAC actions' dialog.
  • Button 'IMAC services...' at the bottom of standard system catalogs is another way of calling the 'Asset management IMAC actions' dialog.

  By customization, the action (context menu item, button) can also be added to other places within Valuemation GUI.
