Implementation: This is the default mode after the system is deployed for the first time. It uses the implementation caching profile for faster startup time and good response time. Use this mode when working out deployment issues, importing system data, building queries and reports, and so on.

Test: This mode uses the same caching model as Production mode. Use this mode when running training sessions and UAT tests.

Production: This mode uses a data caching model optimized for user response time. The cost is slightly slower startup time and a short-lived performance degradation when system data (such as queries, reports, and master data) is changed. Production mode is available only when the system is properly licensed. Modules not licensed will be hidden in the UI automatically once Production mode is enabled. Additionally, the Local directory driver is unavailable in Production mode for security purposes.
