7.9. Creating an Application

As a general rule with any activity, make sure you have proper access to the IQ Server. In the case of application creation, you will need to be a member of a role that has been granted the Edit IQ Elements permission. In the roles provided by default, this would be the Owner role for an organization.

When you create an application, you can assign the following items for identifying it:

  • Application Name - The name that appears in the sidebar and at the top of the Organization & Policies area when the application is selected.
  • Application ID - A unique identifier that’s used by integration tools (e.g. Nexus IQ for Bamboo, IQ for IDEA, REST APIs and more) when performing component evaluations.
  • Icon - A graphical representation of the application that appears at the top of the Organization & Policies area (when the application is selected in the sidebar) and in Reporting. You can select from the default icon, a robot icon, or a custom icon.

To create an application:

  1. Click the Organization & Policies icon figs/web/clm-server-manage-app-org-icon.png on the IQ Server toolbar.
  2. In the sidebar, click the organization to which you want to attach an application. A New Application button is displayed.
  3. Click the New Application button.
  4. In the New Application dialog, set the following attributes:

    1. Application Name - Enter a name into the text box.
    2. Application ID - Enter an identifier into the text box.
    3. Icon - Select from three options:

      • Default - Uses the default image.
      • Upload a custom icon - Click the Upload icon image button to navigate to an image file in PNG format and click Open. The image should be sized to 160 x 160 pixels. Images with different sizes will be scaled.
      • Get a robot - Click the Get Another Robot button to cycle randomly through a variety of robot images.
  5. Click the Create button.
