Defining Applications

You use applications to group jobs and process flows. When defining or requesting jobs and process flows, you can select an application. To define an application, you must give it a name and description.

The Application field provides a way to assign jobs as well as process flows to an organizational group. The groups might be programs, machines, divisions, or some other characteristic. When editing or requesting jobs and process flows, you can select an application and the jobs and process flows displayed will be limited to those that are assigned to the application.

Applications Manager user groups control access to applications. If you do not have access to them, see your Applications Manager administrator.
