Introduction to Work Centers

Work Centers offer you a simpler, task-based, and role-based interface that is responsive on desktops, notebooks, tablets, and smartphones. Because these Work Centers offer only the features that you need to complete your most critical work, your learning curve can be shortened, and you work more efficiently.

Several related tools are available for activities such as designing data sets for business analysis, creating inspection forms, and quickly entering service requests.

Business administrators can configure parts of the Work Centers for Work Supervision and Work Execution.

Several Work Centers provide short tours about Work Center features. Available tours are listed in your Profile menu in a Work Center.
