## User interface elements

UI Element | Description

Enable Network Virtualization | Enables NV when running a scenario. Choose between the NV emulation modes: Per Group. Enables you to assign multiple virtual locations for each Vuser group, when several Vuser groups run on the same Load Generator. (Default) Per Load Generator. Lets you assign a single virtual location to each load generator. For more details, see Per group versus per load generator.
Common Settings | Opens the Virtual Location Editor that lets you specify the global settings for NV. This includes packet capture details and a list of IP addresses to exclude from NV, applied to all virtual locations. For details, see Virtual location common settings.
Virtual location list | A list of the virtual locations for NV. To add a new virtual location, enter a name and optional description in the next available line. Note: Location names cannot contain non-English characters or the following special characters: `\ / : “ ? ‘ < > | * % ^ , ! { } ( ) ; = #`

Select a virtual location in the grid to use the following buttons.

## Per group versus per load generator

Choose whether to assign different virtual locations or the same virtual location to Vuser groups running on a load generator.

Per Load Generator mode | Applies the same virtual location to all groups running on the load generator. Note: Not supported for NV Insights report.
Per Group mode | Assigns virtual locations per Vuser group. You specify the virtual location for each Vuser group. Note: Required for NV Insights report. For details, see NV Insights report. Is not supported for the following protocols: Citrix ICA, COM/DCOM, Java Record Replay, Java Vuser, MAPI, user-defined protocols based on the Protocol SDK. If you select Per Group mode, and a particular Vuser group runs a protocol that does not support Per Group functionality, then Per Load Generator mode is applied to that Vuser group. When the Vuser group runs, the load generator's default virtual location is applied to the Vusers.
