Click the Configurations button 
on the left-side menu of the Visualization Management app to open the Configurations page.
The list on the left hand side shows configurations. The form on the right hand side shows the properties of the configuration.
A configuration is an extension to the device/user/project settings as described before. It is like a container which can store detailed informations concerning access to layers and functions as well as values of workspace and page variables.
A configuration has to be unique per device, per user/group and per project. Note: only the project is mandatory, the device and user/group are optional and can remain empty!
When a client connects, the system searches the relevant configuration:
- step: by all its keys (as in Evaluation 1) - if there is no result evaluate next step, otherwise configuration found.
- step: by two keys (as in Evaluation 2) - if there is no result evaluate next step, otherwise configuration found.
- step: by two keys (as in Evaluation 3) - if there is no result evaluate next step, otherwise configuration found.
- step: by one key (as in Evaluation 4) - if there is no result no configuration is available, otherwise configuration found.
System evaluation of configurations
| Keys | Evaluation 1 | Evaluation 2 | Evaluation 3 | Evaluation 4 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
1. key | Project | Project | Project | Project |
2. key | User/Group | User/Group | Device | |
| 3. key | Device |
When defining a configuration the user has to ensure that the keys of the configuration fit to the project - otherwise the system will never apply the configuration.
