# 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.
