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.
