The Maistro Admin Module enables comprehensive management of thesaurus and indexing projects, including project creation, reconfiguration, and user access management. Administrators can customize configuration settings for thesaurus master and m.a.i., manage user privileges, and perform various project operations such as start, stop, delete, or restore. Additionally, users can define field types and properties in term records to suit specific project needs.
