# Apps Applications are your app inventory: every tool employees use, along with ownership, lifecycle, costs, and security attributes. **Why it matters** * Clear ownership: know who approves access and who to notify during incidents. * Better workflows: route requests by app, pick approvers automatically, and trigger provisioning in tools like Okta/Azure AD/Google Workspace. * Visibility: analyze usage, categories, and costs. Manage application fields Customize the fields that describe apps (and their visibility). Common fields include: * Owner, Teams, Category, Lifecycle (e.g., Active, Security review) * Sensitive data (Y/N), Status page URL * Contract details (renewal date, vendor, currency) * Annual cost, Licenses, Jurisdiction, Hosting Turn fields on/off and set the structure that fits your governance. **Inventory and profiles** * List: search and filter apps by category, owner, lifecycle, or cost. * Profile: see the app’s details, owners, related teams, and linked requests. From here, open the status page or start/approve access workflows. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
