Explanations of terms
This section explains key DEXIOS terms that are regularly used throughout this documentation. A common understanding of these terms makes it easier to understand the described concepts & functions and to work with DEXIOS

Different types of data can be assigned to an administrative unit, for example: users, people & groups of people, companies, devices & device groups, locations and zones, roles, time models, booking types, qualifications, workflows, event configurations, offline systems.
Depending on the application scenario, an administrative unit can only contain data records of a specific type or even several different data types.

A source system is assigned to each data set - this is done automatically & usually requires no user intervention. This makes it transparent whether data was created manually in DEXIOS or automatically imported from a connected system
