What are Applications?

Applications (also referred to as Downstream Applications) are the different applications and/or databases your institution uses that you want to connect to Clarity. These can be databases such as SQL and Oracle, or other applications such as Zoom, Active Directory, or an HR platform. CSV imports and Clarity Connect can also be configured here. Connecting your Applications to Clarity will assist in the Lifecycle Management of your users.

Where does the data come from, and how is it stored?

Application data is pulled from your Downstream Applications after being configured within Clarity. This data is then stored in a single tenant database dedicated to your Clarity instance.
