The pro\u00adduct data manage\u00adment (PDM) inter\u00adface is extre\u00adme\u00adly intui\u00adti\u00adve. Using CREALIS\u00ae PDM does not requi\u00adre pro\u00adgramming skills. All con\u00adtent and depen\u00adden\u00adci\u00ades of the pro\u00adducts to be con\u00adfi\u00adgu\u00adred are mana\u00adged in CREALIS\u00ae PDM.
