# Creating Applications

Create and manage applications that group workflows and records in the left-hand navigation.

Use applications to group related workflows and records in one place.

Each application appears in the left-hand navigation.

When users open an application, they can access:

* workflow tabs
* the record table for the selected workflow
* status widgets that surface tasks and apply filters

Users only see applications they have permission to access.

Record and task visibility still depends on access to the underlying workflows and records.

{% hint style="info" %}
Create the workflows first if you want to add them immediately.

You can also add or reorder workflows later.
{% endhint %}

### Create an application

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Open Applications

Go to **Settings** and open **Applications**.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Select Add Application

Select **Add Application** below the table.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Enter the application details

Add the required settings:

* **Name**: Enter a clear name for the application.
* **Workflows**: Select the workflows you want to include.

The selected workflows become tabs inside the application.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Save and review

Changes are saved automatically.

Check that the application appears in the left-hand navigation.

Check that the workflow tabs are in the expected order.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

### Manage applications

Return to **Settings** > **Applications** to manage existing applications.

You can:

* edit the application name
* add or remove workflows
* reorder applications in the left-hand navigation
* reorder workflow tabs inside an application
* delete applications you no longer need

### Things to know

Deleting an application removes the application grouping only.

It does not delete the workflows inside it.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Do not rename standard applications.

SureCloud monitoring and analytics rely on those names.
