Configure the use of IFS Cloud Tools/Equipment

Enable the use of IFS Cloud Tools

To enable the use of the IFS Cloud Tool and Equipment solution rather than Maintenix tools you must:

  1. Log in to IFS Cloud Web as the IFS Application owner.

  2. Navigate to the Apps-Mtx Config page located in the Mx Config folder.

  3. For the USE_MAINTENIX_TOOL_REGISTRY property, change the Property Value to "NO". The default value on installation is "YES".
