Click the Configurations button 
on the left-side menu of the Visualization Management app to open the Configurations page.
Content
The page consists of several areas:
- top: toolbar
- left: list of configurations
- right: configuration properties
A configuration is an extension to the device/user/project settings as described before. It is like a container that stores detailed information concerning layer access and enabled functions as well as workspace and page variable values.
A configuration must 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 in the following order and selects the first matching configuration:
- by project, user/group, and device
- by project and user/group
- by project and device
- by project
If no configuration could be matched, the client uses the device's default settings.
When specifying a configuration, ensure that the keys of the configuration match to the project - otherwise the system can never apply the configuration.
