Maintaining (Changing) Settings Centrally 
The work center settings and user settings can be changed centrally. The same changes for a user group, for example, can be maintained simultaneously using these programs. This reduces the amount of work for individual users. Furthermore, the user responsible for a work center can be changed centrally or work centers can be deleted.
