# How to Display Monitor Templates and Roles in the Console

By default, you can't see configured [monitor](/tim-reorg/docs/controlup-monitor){target="_blank"} templates or roles in the Real-Time DX Console.

You can set a registry entry on the console machine to display detailed monitor information such as:

* Templates
* Capacity
* Roles

**Create the following registry entry:**

Key: <code>HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Smart-X\ControlUp\Console</code>
Value: <code>MC</code>
Data Type: <code>REG_DWORD</code>
Data Value: <code>1</code>

![Registry Key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Smart-X\ControlUp\Console](https://cdn.document360.io/098100b7-b9da-4bea-b4b9-017140ab863e/Images/Documentation/image-W4XM3L1O.png){height="" width=""}

Restart the console machine and you can see the new columns:
