# Configuring desktop applications
Once you select the **Desktop** application type on the application configuration page, a **Desktop Version Configuration** section appears with a **General** tab containing configuration fields.
## Configuring general settings for desktop applications
From the [application configuration](https://docs.nexthink.com/platform/user-guide/applications/configuring-applications) page of the selected web application, under the **General** tab:
1. Define the **Binaries** of your desktop application.
* An autocomplete helps you enter the binary name when you start typing. You cannot include the same binary in multiple applications.
* Remember, desktop applications represent [binaries grouped](https://docs.nexthink.com/platform/references/database-information-and-organization/binary-grouping/) with their associated subprocesses. As a result, application-related metrics, dashboards and AI insights include all subprocesses.
2. Select **Make dashboard device centric** to change the dashboard orientation from employee to device centric. See image below.
* When the **Make dashboard device centric** options is selected, the **Employees**, **Crashes per employee** and **Employees with crashes** widgets are switched to **Devices**, **Crashes per devices** and **Devices with crashes**. A
* Additionally, the **Metrics** table changes accordingly.
