Applications - Application Types
Application Types are used to classify the applications created in Compliance Suite. This includes internal, external or paper-based applications, among others.
Navigate to "Application Types" found in the "Connectors" area to see all application types created in Compliance Suite.
Application Types is a method to classify data in Compliance Suite. For example, if your organization has a number of internal and a number of external applications, it is appropriate to create application types to classify those applications. The reason for this is that there may be different guidelines or approval and implementation processes associated with the different application types that should be taken into account.
