Customizing the Database

Administrative users can use the Preferences page (shown below) to customize the labels used throughout the software's menus and dialog boxes. This makes it easier for your Operators and other users to understand the software, since it uses terms familiar to them. For example, you may want to manage your database using Parts instead of Processes.
