# Web UI

The NSO Web UI consists of a suite of web-based applications. Each application has its own distinct concern, for instance, handling configuration, transaction handling, managing devices, managing services, or monitoring the system. The different applications can be accessed from the application hub, which is shown directly after authentication.

The Web UI is a mix of custom-built applications and auto-rendering from the underlying device and service models. The latter gives the benefit that a Web UI is immediately updated when new devices or services are added to the system. So, say you add support for a new device vendor. Without any programming, is the NSO Web UI capable of configuring those devices?

All modern web browsers are supported and no plug-ins are required. The interface is a pure JavaScript Client.

## Using the Web UI <a href="#d5e5509" id="d5e5509"></a>

The Web UI is available on port 8080 on the NSO server. The port can be changed in the `ncs.conf` file. An NSO user must exist.

More help on how to use the Web UI is present in the Web UI applications. The help is located in the user menu, which can be found to the right in the application header.

## Transactions and Commit <a href="#d5e5514" id="d5e5514"></a>

Take special notice to the Commit Manager application, whenever a transaction has started, the active changes can be inspected and evaluated before they are committed and pushed to the network. The data is saved to the NSO datastore and pushed to the network when a user presses "Commit".

Any network-wide change can be picked up as a rollback file. That rollback can then be applied to undo whatever happened to the network.

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

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://nso-docs.cisco.com/guides/nso-6.2/operation-and-usage/webui.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

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.
