# Link Dashboard Project with vREST NG Application Project

To link the dashboard project with the vREST NG Application project, simply follow the steps below:

  1. Visit Dashboard Menu >> Dashboard Projects from the left side menu bar in the vREST NG Dashboard page.
  2. Click on the Download Config button to download the project configuration file for a project as shown in the image below: This file contains the dashboard project id and instance-id information.
  3. Move this configuration file named config.json in your corresponding vREST Application project directory parallel to the testsuites.json file.

That's it.

# For Projects with custom configurations

Locate the config.json file present at the root level of your vREST Application project directory, parallel to the testsuites.json file. If it has custom configuration options (that may appear when you change the storage type or structure for example), follow these steps instead:

  1. Visit Dashboard Menu >> Dashboard Projects from the left side menu bar in the vREST NG Dashboard page.
  2. Click on the Download Config button to download the project configuration file for a project as shown in the image below.
  3. Open the downloaded configuration file and copy its contents.
  4. Paste the copied content into the config.json file, while making sure that it retains your custom configurations.

That's it.
