Context
=======


In MapStore the `Application Context <https://docs.mapstore.geosolutionsgroup.com/en/latest/user-guide/managing-contexts/>`__ Manager is an administrative tool designed to build and configure MapStore's viewers: the administrator is able to configure a custom MapStore viewer by choosing:

- The name of the context (the viewer will have its own specific URL)
- The default map configuration and map contents (like layers, backgrounds, catalogs, CRSs etc)
- The set of plugins available for the viewer

The Admin can access the Application Context Manager through the  button available in the Manager option menu  in Homepage.
