Getting Started Core Administrator Overview
When you are new to Deltek, it is a good idea to become familiar with the terminology, icons, and toolbar options that you see throughout the application.
When relating to Core Administration Menu choices, the term “Core” refers to portions of the system that are independent from the specific modules, like Recruiting, Performance, Learning, and Development. The Core components are shared among the modules.
This guide details all of the administrative functions dealing with the Core application. This refers to items like users, company organization, job profiles, locations, and so on.
What you see on your screen depends on the modules your company is using as well as the permissions that have been enabled for the Group(s) to which you belong.
