If the API Access Control icon is not present then select the EDIT button in the upper right of the SMOOTH APPs MANAGER screen.

Select MAZAK APP from the ADD menu.

Select API ACCESS CONTROL and then press OK.

Select any of the available buttons locations to register the APP on the screen.

After selecting a location the API ACCESS CONTROL button should show in the location that was selected.
