# Associating Scans with Specific Application

In Pynt's Scan History, you have the powerful capability to **associate scans with specific applications**, enhancing the organization and categorization of your security assessments. 

This feature allows you to seamlessly link a scan to its relevant application, providing a streamlined and efficient way to manage and **track your security testing** initiatives. 

By associating applications with scans, you gain a clearer and **more structured overview of your security posture**, making it easier to prioritize and address potential vulnerabilities.

Easily link an existing application to a specific scan or add a new application for association by clicking on "**Select**" in the application column of the relevant scan.

You can also associate the application with the scan when you run a scan.

In the CLI, simply add `--application-name` \<Your application name> (the application will be created automatically if it does not exist).

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.pynt.io/documentation/scan-history/navigate-scan-history/associating-scans-with-specific-application.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
