# 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).
