Applications
Manage software applications detected through system inventory and assigned to organizations.
Overview
Applications in My represent software instances (such as NethVoice, NethSecurity, WebTop) that are detected through system inventory data. Each application is associated with a system and can be assigned to an organization for management purposes.
Viewing Applications
Application List
Navigate to Applications to see the list of all applications visible to you. The list displays:
- Application type (e.g., NethVoice, NethSecurity, WebTop)
- Version
- FQDN: the public hostnames the application is published on, as reported by the inventory (empty when the application has no HTTP route)
- Associated system
- Organization
Filtering
Use the available filters to narrow down the application list:
- Search: free text matched against the application name, its type, the system name and the application FQDNs, so you can find an instance by the hostname its users connect to
- Type: Filter by application type (NethVoice, NethSecurity, WebTop, etc.)
- Version: Filter by specific version
- System: Filter by the system the application belongs to
- Organization: Filter by organization. An unassigned application belongs to the organization of the system hosting it, so a company's applications show up before any assignment; the same rule drives the application counters on the organization pages
Application Details
Click on an application to view its detailed information:
- Type: The kind of application (e.g., NethVoice, NethSecurity)
- Version: The installed version
- FQDN: The hostnames the application is published on, click one to copy it
- Associated System: The system where the application is running
- Organization: The organization the application belongs to
Assigning to Organizations
Assignment controls which organization has visibility and management access to the application.
An application is assigned to one organization at a time, not to several. Assigning it elsewhere replaces the previous assignment.
Assign an Application
- Navigate to the application details page
- Use the Assign action
- Select the target organization. For an unassigned application the drawer may already propose one, with a note explaining why: the customer of the hosting partner the application is named after (hostnames, instance label or LDAP user domain), or simply the customer the system belongs to. Check it, change it if needed
- Confirm the assignment: nothing is assigned until you save
The organizations on offer are filtered by your position in the hierarchy: you can only assign applications to organizations you manage.
Unassign an Application
- Navigate to the application details page
- Use the Unassign action
- Confirm the removal
An unassigned application does not disappear: it goes back to being counted against the organization of the system hosting it.
Application Notes
You can add notes to applications to record additional context or operational information:
- Navigate to the application details page
- Find the Notes section
- Add or edit your notes
- Save changes
Totals and Trends
The Dashboard displays the total count of applications visible to your account, with a badge linking to the unassigned ones. Growth over time is available from the API through /backend/api/applications/trend.

Every role except Reader holds manage:applications, so assigning an
application is not a backoffice-only operation.
