New Application Type

Licensing Admin in COMET is responsible for creating new Application types for Licensing Managers.

Each Application type is tight to a Licence that can be awarded to a Club or Stadium. Depending on the configuration of your tenant, there are different license types such as Men's Club License, Women's Club License, Stadium Licence (for Stadium inspection), Futsal Licence, etc.

Each Application Type has usually 5 categories (Administration, Sporting, Legal…), and each category has several Criteria (e.g. Personnel, Teams…) and each criterion has a number of evidences.
