What is application

An application is a logical grouping entity used to organize and visualize assets (projects and targets) that together represent a functional or technical unit — such as a website, service, internal system, or location.

Key features

1. An application groups assets and collections:
   An application can include:

• Individual assets, such as DAST targets or projects mapped from Mend, APIs.

2. Many-to-many relationship:

• A single asset can belong to multiple applications
• An application can belong to multiple collections

3. Aggregated dashboard:
   Each application has a dedicated dashboard with aggregated insights — such as vulnerability stats, vulnerable assets, most prevalent vulnerabilities — across all included entities.
   
4. Best For:
   Representing a logical product, feature, or environment that combines various infrastructure components and teams.
