## Before you begin

Role required: sn\_devops.admin or sn\_devops.app\_owner

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **All** > **DevOps** > **Apps & Pipelines** > **Apps**.

2.  Select the application.

3.  From the application record page, select the related list for the object type that you want to associate.

**Pipelines**

</td><td>

1.  Select the **Pipelines** related list.
2.  Select **Edit**.

4.  Select **Save**.
 **Note:** While associating a pipeline with an app, the pipeline steps are also fetched during import.

 **Note:** When the property **Enable automatic association of repos to apps on pipeline execution** is enabled, if a repository is already associated to an application, then the corresponding unassigned pipelines are automatically assigned to the same app.
