Managing display settings
Review the settings that you can configure for next-generation Order Hub.
About this task
Next-generation Order Hub uses the data from Sterling Order Management System and Inventory Visibility to generate performance metrics, populate the widgets in the workspace, and perform various node, order, and inventory actions. The IBM® onboarding team handles the configuration tasks that next-generation Order Hub requires to receive your node, order, and inventory data.
