# Create a New Configuration

A configuration contains details of all the workspaces, projects, revisions, packages, and deployment images associated with that configuration. To add a new configuration click the ***+*** sign on the left-side panel. The system opens a popup window, where you can enter the configuration name and optional description details. Note that configuration names must follow these guidelines:

* The configuration name must be unique.
* The configuration name can only include lowercase letters, numbers, underscores (\_), hyphens (-), and periods/dots (.)

For information on and help with using prefix and postfix start codes in the Configuration Manager, see [Parallel Version Support: Setting Prefix and Postfixes, Start Codes, and Library Links](/release-9/platform-documentation/system-administration/deployment-manager/parallel-version-support-setting-prefix-and-postfixes-start-codes-and-library-links.md).

In the *Instance* dropdown menu, the system displays a list of all design instances configured on the dashboard. Using this dropdown menu, add the list of projects and their version to the configuration screen. Based on the instance you select the system displays the available list of repositories in the repository dropdown.

Choose the project and version you want to deploy, and the system auto-populates the package name field. You can change the package name, however, if you prefer, remembering that package names can only consist of lowercase letters, numbers, hyphen, underscores, and periods. The system displays any validation errors, which you must fix before the system creates a new configuration.

Once, you have created a configuration, the system displays it in the configuration details window:

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://community-test.logicnets.com/release-9/platform-documentation/system-administration/deployment-manager/create-a-new-configuration.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
