It allows you to see what beds are sheltered, happiness targets (where you could be), what damages are currently going on in the settlements, and days since the last attack.Though you can only manage a settlement while in that settlement. Now you view statistics, manage settlers, tasks, and settings. Now you would go to a terminal and simply load your management holotape.This makes helping your people so much easier and fool-proof, instead of running around trying to track all twenty of your settlers to make sure they are working. Consider using LOOT, a tool to sort load order, and using a mod organizer like Nexus Mod Manager (IMHO at the moment the only viable solution as long as Mod Organizer has no stable version for Fallout4) Total War: WARHAMMER. Settlement Management Software actually adds in a software for terminals that helps you control your settlement better! It adds control and significantly more than just barebones like food, water, defense, etc.
