# Select Controller Dialog Box

This dialog box enables you to select a Controller for a performance testing timeslot.

To access | On the ALM sidebar, under Testing, select Timeslots. On the toolbar, click New Timeslot . In the upper left corner of the dialog box, select Run > Performance Test. In the Requested Hosts grid, click the Controller's Properties column, and click the gray box that appears.
Important information | If you select a Controller host that has multiple purposes (C+LG+DP), it is recommended to dedicate the host for Controller functionality, and not to select it for other functionality as well, to avoid performance issues during runtime. This dialog box is available for performance testing timeslots only.
