Custom Condition Launch Point
A Custom Condition Launch Point in IBM Maximo allows you to use an Automation Script to evaluate identified business condition and return a True or False result. It is especially useful when the required logic is too complex to be handled easily using a standard conditional expression. The Automation Script evaluates the required logic and sets the implicit variable evalresult which carries the Boolean result of the condition evaluation. This result can then be used through the Conditional Expression Manager to control UI behavior, workflow decisions, and other conditional logic within the application.

Configuration Steps
- Navigate to System Configuration → Platform Configuration → Automation Scripts.
- Click Create → Script with Custom Condition Launch Point.
- Provide a name for the Launch Point and enter a suitable description.
- Provide the Condition Name that will be used to identify the custom condition.
- Provide the Script Name, select the required Script Language, and configure the logging level if required.
- Enter the Automation Script code that evaluates the required business condition and sets
evalresultto True or False. - Click Create to save the Custom Condition Launch Point and Automation Script.
- Navigate to Conditional Expression Manager and create the corresponding condition that invokes the custom condition.

Key Benefits
- Helps to evaluate complex business conditions using Automation Scripts.
- Custom conditions defined once can be used through Maximo’s Conditional Expression framework wherever the requirement applies.
- Can dynamically control the visibility or accessibility of fields, tabs, buttons, and other UI controls based on record data.
- Provides a script-based approach to implement complex conditional logic.
- Business logic is kept within Automation Scripts, making it easier to understand, update, and maintain.
- Can be used for conditional UI behavior, workflow decisions, security-related requirements, and other areas where Maximo evaluates conditions.
