# Deviation and Guidewords Configuration

Under this section, you will find all the current configured Deviations and their Guidewords. This deviations and guidewords configuration section is normally pre-populated as part of the initial setup of the IMS SIS database. Unless you are the database Administrator user, you cannot create, edit, or delete anything from here.
