# Configure Work Managers

The Work Manager tab on the Controller or Agent page enables you to configure the predefined Work Managers for the Agent. Using the WLOC Administration Console, you can configure the minimum and maximum number of threads only. You cannot add or delete Work Managers.

The following table summarizes the Work Managers that are available in WLOC and that you can configure using the WLOC Administration Console.
