Once you have configured Centrus Desktop for your system, you can set up your tasks. The tabs on the Centrus Desktop main window represent each Centrus Desktop component, as well as a Tables tab for specifying input and output files and tables. Each component's tab allows you to define how you want that module to process your data.

Collectively, these settings constitute a task. Tasks are to Centrus Desktop what documents are to your word processing software. You can create them, save them, edit them, and rename them.

Important: By default, Centrus Desktop stores your tasks stored in the Centrus Desktop program directory. Task files must have the extension .qmi. If you wish to overwrite the default settings, overwrite the file Centrus Desktop.qmi, located in your Windows directory, with your own task file.
