# Assignments Overview

On the **Assignments** page, you attach a configuration that contains roles to a system or to a group of systems. The page also rolls out new versions of the SysTrack agent. The **Assignments** page is in **Configure** > **System Configuration** > **Assignments**.

> [!NOTE]
> **NOTE**: The **Assignments** page in SysTrack On-Premises has more options, such as adding systems to the tree and moving systems between masters. See [Assignments in SysTrack On-Premises](/documentation/docs/assign-configurations-to-systems).

## Tabs on the Assignments Page

The **Assignments** page has three tabs:

- **Systems**: view and change the configuration and the connection type of each system. See [Use the Systems Tab](/documentation/docs/use-the-systems-tab).
- **Config Rules**: create rules that assign a configuration to the systems that an SQL query returns. See [Use the Config Rules Tab](/documentation/docs/use-the-config-rules-tab).
- **Deployment**: roll out a new agent version to the systems in stages, or to all systems at once. See [Use the Deployment Tab](/documentation/docs/use-the-deployment-tab).

## When Configuration Changes Reach Systems

Systems receive a changed configuration, or a newly assigned one, during routine processing. Config rules also run once a day. For details, see [Use the Config Rules Tab](/documentation/docs/use-the-config-rules-tab).

To make systems apply their configuration now, run the **Read Configuration** command:

1. In **Configure**, go to **SysTrack Settings** > **Administration**.
2. In the **Operations** panel, select the systems.
3. Under **Command Dashboard**, select **Read Configuration**, and click **Run**.
