Overview

 

A Configuration is a container that can include applications and/or MCL firmware and/or other files created for a specific device model and, later on, deployed to a device group. For more detailed information about deployments, see Deployments.

Once created, a configuration can be available to all sites that have a compatible qualification or it can be restricted to a specific site (if a “Site Restriction” setting is defined in the "Configuration Details" page - in the "Properties" tab). See Editing a Configuration).

 

 

To access the "Configurations" page, click Applications button (located in the "Control Panel"), and, in the resulting row, select Configurations Sub Module Button.
