Overview
When you click on a row in the app list, a detail view (also known as the “details mask”) opens on the right-hand side of the screen. This panel provides a comprehensive summary of the selected application, segmented into several functional tabs.
The detail view allows you to:
- Review critical app data, including identifiers and ownership.
- Navigate through credentials, secrets, and permissions.
- Perform key management tasks, such as renewing expiring credentials or updating sponsor roles.
The layout is designed to be intuitive:
- A left-hand navigation menu lets you jump between the main categories: Overview, Credentials, Owners, and Settings.
- The content on the right dynamically updates based on the selected section.
- Actions like editing, uploading, or assigning appear inline—typically accessible via buttons or icons within each section based on your permissions.
This interface supports both App Registrations and Enterprise Applications, with some sections adapting based on the app type (e.g., SAML certificates will appear only for SAML-enabled enterprise apps).
Excellent—thanks for confirming! We’ll drop the appendix for now and move forward with rewriting, starting with the App Detail View (Intro) and Overview sections. These will set the foundation for the rest of the documentation.
Overview
The Overview section provides key identifying and operational details for the selected application. It acts as a summary snapshot and a starting point for deeper navigation.
