## Application details

When an application is selected from search results, its name appears below the search field. Select **Application Link** to open the application's website.

Enter the following mandatory details:

| Field      | Description                                                      |
| ---------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Type**   | The record type: Application, Browser, Website, Device, or Other |
| **Status** | The application's status: Active or Inactive                     |
| **Owner**  | The assigned application owner. Search by name or email          |

## Custom fields

Expand **Custom Fields** to set values for organization-specific fields. For example, set **Continuous Optimization** to Enabled or Not Enabled.

## Additional details

Expand **Additional Details** to set:

* **Application Budget**: the allocated budget for the application
* **Application Tag**: a tag to group or label the application

## App categories

Expand **App Categories** to assign a category.

1. Select **Add Category**.
2. Choose a category from the list, for example **Artificial Intelligence**.
3. Select **Add Sub Category** to add a subcategory, for example **AI Note-Taking Software**.

App Categories is a mandatory field.

## After adding an application

Once saved, the application appears in the Applications table. Administrators can then:

* Update application metadata from its profile
* Apply status and authorization changes
* Include the application in bulk actions and exports

Adding an application creates its record only. It does not assign users or licenses, and does not apply integrations. Configure these separately after adding the application.
