A classification is a way to categorize apps in the App Inventory. You can assign one of the following classifications to an app:

• Unclassified: The app does not have a specific classification. This is the default state of any new application.
• Sanctioned: The app is sanctioned for use.
• Reviewing: The app is under investigation.
• Unsanctioned: The app is not sanctioned for use.

You can view and edit the classification in the App Inventory or the App Panel header.

• Classify an App in the App Inventory

  To classify an app:

  1. In the left-side navigation, go to Inventory.
  2. In the App Inventory, go to the Classification column.

  3. In the drop-down menu, select the appropriate classification for the app.

The classification remains assigned to the app throughout its lifecycle (e.g., if you revoke the app, and then a user re-installs it.) The classification remains the same unless an administrator changes it, which is recorded as an activity.

You can also automatically assign a classification to apps that meet the criteria of a policy. To learn more, see 3rd-Party App Governance Policies.
