It is a legacy web app and will be deprecated in a future version of Lasernet Core. **Expand for information** The information below will help you to familiarize yourself with the parts of the Lasernet Config app. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/c831ef63-c6b3-48ee-b443-3e33644e4e2e/Images/Documentation/find way around config server(1).png) | Number | Element | | --- | --- | | 1 | The **Deploy** button opens the **Deploy Configuration** window. In that window, you can [select a Lasernet Core configuration and deploy it to one or more Lasernet Core environments](/v1/docs/deploy-configurations-to-lasernet-core-environments). | | 2 | Click **Refresh** to reload the data in the area of the Lasernet Config app you are working in. | | 3 | The buttons that are present in this main toolbar vary depending on which area of the Lasernet Config app you are working in. For example: - If you are on the **Environments** page, you can click **Edit** after you select an environment from the list. - If you are on the **Licenses** page, there are multiple buttons (**Add**, **Edit**, **Remove**, **Sync license**, and **Upload Demo**). | | 4 | The **Environments** page lists the Lasernet Core environments that this Config Server manages. For each environment, the table displays relevant information, such as the configuration (with revision number) that is deployed to it. To edit an environment’s settings (for example, to [turn on grab mode for it](/v1/docs/grab-mode), [apply a license to the environment](/v1/docs/apply-licenses-to-lasernet-core-services), [turn on logging](/v1/docs/lasernet-core-environment-logging), [create JobInfos at Config Server level](/v1/docs/add-config-server-jobinfos), and [view configuration deployment history for that environment](/v1/docs/view-configuration-deployment-history-for-an-environment)), select the environment in the list and then click **Edit**. | | 5 | The **Print Servers** page enables you to [manage the name of Windows printer servers and connection strings for printing via cloud or on-premises](/v1/docs/add-print-servers-to-the-config-server). | | 6 | The **Configurations** page lists the Lasernet Core configurations that are stored in the repository of this Config Server. Users can save revisions of configurations to the repository and access these configurations when needed. The configurations can be [deployed to the environments listed on the **Environments** page](/v1/docs/deploy-configurations-to-lasernet-core-environments). The **Revision** column in the table displays the revision number of each configuration’s latest revision. | | 7 | The **Users and Groups** page enables you to [manage the users and groups defined for this Config Server](/v1/docs/configure-users-and-roles). The groups defined here can be assigned to the roles defined on the **Security Roles** page. | | 8 | The **App Registrations** page enables you to [create app registrations that enable third-party apps to authenticate with and then integrate with Lasernet Core](/v1/docs/add-app-registrations-to-the-config-server). | | 9 | The **Security Roles** page enables you to [manage the security roles defined for this Config Server](/v1/docs/configure-users-and-roles). When you edit a role, you can assign groups (that you defined on the **Users and Groups** page) to the role. | | 10 | The **OCR** page enables you to manage OCR form lists and OCR identifiers. | | 11 | The **Apps** page enables you to [manage the shortcuts that are displayed in the Apps menu](/v1/docs/configure-config-server-app-links) (at the upper-left corner of the application). | | 12 | The **Licenses** page enables you to add Lasernet Core licenses to the Config Server, view important license information (such as current usage and expiry date), and manage licenses (for example, remove licenses or synchronize license features with the Lasernet Group license server). For more information, see [Apply Licenses to Lasernet Core Services](/v1/docs/apply-licenses-to-lasernet-core-services). | > [!NOTE] > Note > > The Lasernet Config app’s [permissions configuration](/v1/docs/configure-users-and-roles) determines which parts of the Lasernet Config app are shown to each user. > > > > For example, the Lasernet Config app can be configured to hide the **Licenses** page from users who are not administrators. The next step of the [Lasernet Core 11 installation and setup process](/v1/docs/lasernet-core-11-installation-guide) is to [apply licenses to Lasernet Core services](/v1/docs/apply-licenses-to-lasernet-core-services).
