The Asset Management Module integrates with Maximo 7 using Maximo's Start-in-Context feature. A Start-in-Context entry passes information about the selected asset to a new Internet Explorer session that connects to the Asset Management Module Web Access extension, which retrieves the related vault documents. You define a menu item or button in Maximo to invoke the Start-in-Context entry.
