Create Application Tokens

To access this page, click Administration > Application Tokens. You can generate application tokens from the App Tokens page.

  • Review the Application Tokens Overview topic.

  • Note that an application token is marked inactive if it has not been used for 30 days. Once inactive, all access using the token is blocked until it is activated again. If an application token has not been used for 90 days, it is automatically deleted and cannot be recovered again.

  • Note that when you generate an application token, you must copy and paste it at the time of generation. Once you close the generation screen, the token is no longer available for copying.

To generate an application token:

  1. Select Administration> Application Tokens.
  2. Click the plus (+) icon.
  3. Complete the configuration by using the guidelines in Table 1 below.
  4. Click OK.
  5. Copy and paste the generated token into the Open API configuration process by using it as the bearer token in the authorization header.
    Warning:

    When you generate an application token, you must copy and paste it at the time of generation. Once you close the generation screen, the token is no longer available for copying.
