The term application is used interchangeably with the term App. An application is a collection of layouts and widgets that have been programmed to run at a specific time, duration and location. Each application is designed to cater to a specific media location and purpose (e.g. Main Entrance Information Display or Elevator Lobby Advertising Panel).
