Action Launch Point
An Action Launch Point is a mechanism that associates an Automation Script with a Maximo Action, allowing the script to be executed when that action is invoked. IBM Maximo provides actions that can be invoked from different areas of the application, such as workflows, escalations, UI menus, and UI buttons. An Action Launch Point allows custom business logic to be attached to these actions using an Automation Script.
