Its File menu contains items to load and save a layout control database, and its Edit menu contains items to create layout control elements. See the OpenLCB Program Reference documentation for info on these menu items. Additionally, the Open item on the File menu will open additional config files to edit.

The main GUI contains the table of Layout Control elements in the currently loaded layout control database, along with edit boxes for these elements.
