Saving and publishing configurations

As you configure a Work Center, you can save your changes. After you review your changes, publish the Work Center so that the configuration changes are available to your users.

About this task

Note: Starting from Maximo® Application Suite 9.0 and Maximo Manage 9.0, all work centers are no longer available. The documentation provided for work centers applies only to Maximo Manage 8.7 and earlier versions.
As you work in various configuration dialog boxes, you can save changes to the draft Work Center. All saved, unpublished changes accumulate in this draft. When you publish the draft, it becomes the active version, and the previous active version becomes an inactive version.
