The Guide GroundControl server hosts the system’s centralized configuration and personalization platform – the Guide Configuration Console.

By using the Configuration Console, system administrators can control preferences of the entire system from a single point of access. The configuration console enables the Guide system to be highly flexible and to be adapted to diverse customer types and needs.

The Guide Configuration Console enables management of many settings such as:

• Communication
• Application behavior and flow
• System texts
• Localization
• User specific preferences
• Accessibility
• Appearance and style

Guide Configuration Console operates in a cascading layer architecture enabling configuration of preferences for the global system for roles and groups and down to single users. Guide Configuration Console provides enormous integration power. It has the ability to adapt the entire Guide system or only parts of it to meet the diverse needs common to large organizations.
