    • An application category is a grouping of applications by their purpose and function, fields, or areas. Such a categorization helps you to consolidate applications and rationalize decisions. You can create an application category or edit an existing one to align it with your business requirements.

    Importante:

    Starting with the Xanadu release, the legacy application categories module has been deprecated from Enterprise Architecture (formerly Application Portfolio Management). However, if you’re an existing user of Enterprise Architecture (formerly Application Portfolio Management), you can still use the legacy application categories module. If you’re a new activation user, the legacy application categories module isn’t available.

    You can leverage the same feature by using the Enterprise Architecture Workspace. To learn more, see Manage application categories.

Application category field is used to filter Analysis dashboards (2x2 matrix plotting business value versus technical risk).
