# Applications

> How Applications are represented in the Portal (lists, detail pages, and tabs)

In the Portal, an **Application** is the primary container for:

* Your **traffic** (sessions + requests)
* Your Application’s **Intents** (action types)
* Application-level **configuration**

## Where to find Applications

Use the left sidebar:

* **Applications**: opens the Applications list (`/applications`)

## Applications list

The Applications list shows a table with:

* **Name**
* **Created**
* **Last Activity**

Click any row to open the Application detail page (`/application/:applicationId`).

You can also **delete** an application from the list using the row action menu.

<Note>
  The Applications list shows an empty state until you have traffic. In the Portal UI, Applications are described as appearing automatically once you start using Maitai.
</Note>

## Application detail page

Opening an Application takes you to a detail view with tabs. The exact tabs are:

* **Overview**
* **Agents**
* **Intents**
* **Sessions**
* **Models**
* **Configuration**

### Overview

<img src="https://mintcdn.com/maitai-cbe2cd27/o70b7aP0pbkBNV82/images/observe/applications/Observe_Applications_Overview.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=o70b7aP0pbkBNV82&q=85&s=b275efa48cc5513231c4016593c8ff04" alt="Application Overview" width="1647" height="787" data-path="images/observe/applications/Observe_Applications_Overview.png" />

The Overview tab is the "health dashboard" for the Application. It includes:

* **Key metrics** (for example: total sessions, number of intents, last activity, created date)
* **Analytics charts**:
  * **Request Activity**
  * **Fault Rate**

### Agents

<img src="https://mintcdn.com/maitai-cbe2cd27/o70b7aP0pbkBNV82/images/observe/applications/Observe_Applications_Agents.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=o70b7aP0pbkBNV82&q=85&s=edb6dd6fab1785d0184396fc8965bede" alt="Application Agents" width="1693" height="648" data-path="images/observe/applications/Observe_Applications_Agents.png" />

The Agents tab is the application-scoped entry point for working with Agents:

* View Agents associated with this Application
* Create an Agent directly from the Application via **Create Agent**

If you’re learning Agents from scratch, start with the Build section: [Create Agent](/build/agents/create_agent).

### Intents

<img src="https://mintcdn.com/maitai-cbe2cd27/o70b7aP0pbkBNV82/images/observe/applications/Observe_Applications_Intents.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=o70b7aP0pbkBNV82&q=85&s=c718d48ccf5cc89ebb0e21b68d52d521" alt="Application Intents" width="1676" height="904" data-path="images/observe/applications/Observe_Applications_Intents.png" />

The Intents tab lists the Intents (action types) that exist within this Application, including:

* intent name (the `action_type`)
* created date
* last activity
* request count

Click a row to open the Intent detail page (`/application/:applicationId/intent/:actionId`).

### Sessions

The Sessions tab is where you browse session history for the Application.

In the Portal, sessions can be opened from this table to view a full **Session Details** experience (timeline, etc). See [Agent Sessions](/observe/agent_sessions).

### Models

The Models tab shows models associated with the Application (as presented in the Portal’s models table).

### Configuration

<img src="https://mintcdn.com/maitai-cbe2cd27/o70b7aP0pbkBNV82/images/observe/applications/Observe_Applications_Configuration.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=o70b7aP0pbkBNV82&q=85&s=51e95f74fa1fb4dfbb88f1a3d096f072" alt="Application Configuration" width="1683" height="899" data-path="images/observe/applications/Observe_Applications_Configuration.png" />

The Configuration tab exposes application-level configuration (with save/reset controls). This is where you set defaults that affect how Maitai runs your requests for this Application.

For a walkthrough of configuration fields, see [Configuration](/examples/configuration).

## How Applications relate to Intents and Intent Groups

* **Intents** are defined within an **Application** (they represent action types within that app).
* **Intent Groups** are cross-application: they group Intents across your company by shared action type.

In practice:

* Start at **Applications** to focus on one product/service.
* Jump to **Intent Groups** when you want to manage shared monitoring/testing behavior across many apps.
