The user can apply changes across one or more rows of data in the spreadsheet and when completed, the data can be imported back into Maximo. The loading of this data into Maximo processes through the business objects for all the same validations that the data would go through if entered through the application. Although the implementation of this functionality relies on the integration framework, the intent is that the end user needs no understanding of the framework to import and export data. There is a requirement for an integration administrator to enable the import/export to a specific application. The application-based import and export functionality relies on the object structure component of the integration framework to define the data content and any processing classes (Java) that are needed to facilitate the exporting and importing of data.
