  3. Provide a unique name for your application. The Application Name works as the identifier for your application. You can search for an application with the Application Name. By default,
    FactoryTalk DataMosaix SaaS
     generates an application name.
    Application Name example: APP_1206230756_createproject_v1.
    Here, APP stands for application, 120623 is the date in ddmmyy format, 0756 is the timestamp in hhmm format, and createproject_v1 is the project in which you are currently working. You can use the default App Name or create your own.
  4. Select Machine to Machine Application type.
  5. Provide a description for the application.
  6. From the
    Associated Roles
     drop-down list, select at least one role. You can refer to various roles and capabilities by clicking
    Role Reference
    .
    NOTE:
    The Associated Roles drop-down is visible and available only:
    • For Project Admin users or users within the Organization with a Project Admin role assigned.
    • When you select the application type as Machine to Machine.
    When you do not have the Project Admin role and register a Machine to Machine application, the application will be automatically assigned the default
    Applications
     role.
    You can select multiple roles from the Associated Roles drop-down list. In the search bar, you can search for any specific role from the list. If you want to apply all the roles to the application, select the
    Select All
     check box.
  7. Click
    Save and Create Credentials
     to register the application.
    The
    Credentials and other info
     dialog box displays the client secret information.
