    Creating an Application

    To create a new Application:
    1. In the Authorization Workspace, navigate to the Applications section and click New App. The New Application screen is displayed.
    2. Enter the Name of the new Application.
    3. In the Generate Application ID field, select whether you want to apply a Custom ID, one that you created yourself, or an Auto Generated ID, one that the Platform creates automatically. The Application ID must be unique per Environment. The Application ID can be used in Management APIs.
      • If you selected Custom ID, the Application ID field appears as an editable field. Enter the new Application ID in the field. The maximum number of characters for this field is 128.
      • If you selected Auto Generated ID, a GUID is automatically set as the Application ID.

    Note:
    Once the Application is created, the Application ID can no longer be changed.

    1. Enter the Description of the new Application. This is an optional field where additional information about the application can be provided.

    2. In Set Application Display, you can customize how the Application appears, including:

      • Entering a URL for your logo in the Logo URL field.
      • Making it visually easier to differentiate between the Applications by selecting a color in the Color Indication field.
    3. In the Scope field, you have the following options:

      • Click Auto created Scope to automatically create a Scope for this Application.
      • Click Select Scope from List to select an existing Scope to connect to this Application.
      • Click None, if you do not wish to define a Scope at this time.
    4. Click Create. The Application is added to the list of Applications.
