Application
1 Overview
Applications are the means by which Veloopti keeps data, dashboards, actions and policies segregated within an organisation. Applications in your organisation are found by clicking on the Application menu item at the top of the Veloopti console. Applications can be made a favorite in the same manner as as dashboards are for quicker access to them.
2 Selecting an application
Clicking on the Application menu item brings up the application view.
The easiest way to navigate through your applications is to change the application through the breadcrumb. Use the drop down application menu 
to select the other applications that you have access to.
The below example contains an application called Application of Amazing things. You can use the drop down menu to the right of the application name to select another.
The below example shows the nodes of the Application of Amazing things. Use the drop down menu to the right of the Node item to select between actions, dashboards, nodes, permissions, policies roles or users.
