3. Click Edit in the Vendor field, and use the chooser to select a vendor to associate with this application.
4. Specify a description for this application that will help you distinguish it from other applications.
5. Select a value from the Application Status drop-down list.

For example, by identifying a set of applications as Legacy, you can capture which business processes within the enterprise are supported by legacy applications.
6. Specify the names of the groups that have access to this data in the Access Restrictions field.
7. To save all the information you entered and display a blank New Application window to create another application, click Save and New.

   The Application Details window appears for the last application you created.
