# Defining PingFederate application ID attributes

Define an application policy by adding the **Name** and **ID** attributes.

Each application that you define in the PingID **Policy** tab must include the following information:

* **Name**: The name of the application as it appears in the PingID policy application list. This attribute does not have to match the application name defined in PingFederate.

* **ID**: The unique ID for the relevant application in PingFederate. This attribute must match the relevant PingFederate Application ID attribute as defined in the following table.

  |   |                                                                                                        |
