OSLC Links cannot be created if the remote application uses Global Configurations and none is being used locally, a warning indicating this will prevent continuing with the process at the beginning of the Artifact Selection step. Otherwise, a Global Configuration (GC) banner will be displayed containing the current GC. Users can open the current GC's page, in its own manager application (GCM), by clicking on its title. They can also preview this page by hovering over the GC, provided they got already authenticated by the GCM; otherwise, they will see a Login button to do so.

The locally-used GC is used to scope the selection or creation process in the remote application: the selection dialog will show only the resources corresponding to the local GC, whereas the creation dialog will locate the created resource in the corresponding configuration.
