  • Application Name: The name you assigned during deployment
  • Application Type: Research Environment, Database, Storage, or Single Application
  • Description: Your notes about the application's purpose
  • Tags: Category tags for filtering and organization

Filtering Applications

Use the tag filters at the top of the Dashboard to quickly find specific types of applications. Click on tags to filter by the application type or purpose.
