A Simple Automation Script (Asset Management) PDF

The document describes how to create a simple automation script in IBM Maximo to copy a value from one attribute to another when a new record is created. It involves setting up an attribute launch point script on the primary phone attribute to copy the primary phone value to a current phone attribute. The script only requires one line of code to make this copy. Testing can be done by adding a new person record and the primary phone value will automatically copy over. This demonstrates how a simple script can be used without extensive scripting experience.
