Rule Based Classification

AppNavi Portal allows users to automatically classify apps using rules based on patterns or specific app entries.

How It Works

  • Patterns: Users can add patterns or exact app names/URLs to mark them as Company Apps.
  • Targets: Rules can be applied to either the app title or the URL.
    • If URL is selected, the pattern should match the app’s URL.
    • If Title is selected, the app will be classified as a Company App if the title matches the pattern.

Note: User can add upto 10 patterns
