# Global Information

## Overview

**Global information** relates to information that can be used by all processes:

* [**Participants**](/workflowgen-administration-module-reference-guide/7.21.0-10/global-information/participants.md) represent the company’s organization in the management and execution of processes.<br>
* [**Applications**](/workflowgen-administration-module-reference-guide/7.21.0-10/global-information/applications.md) are the definitions of workflow applications called by WorkflowGen to execute human or system actions.<br>
* [**Categories**](/workflowgen-administration-module-reference-guide/7.21.0-10/global-information/categories.md) are keywords associated with processes for search and sort purposes in the User Portal only.

The [**Global Lists**](/workflowgen-administration-module-reference-guide/7.21.0-10/global-information/global-lists.md) module allows authorized users to manage data lists from the **Administration Module** to be used with web forms.

Global information can only be managed by users with a WorkflowGen administrator profile.
