See "Application definition details "

See "Application metering policy options"

When you configure an Application Metering policy, you specify the metering
options for applications to be monitored or denied. The options apply to all the
applications that are defined in the policy.
See "About metering and denying applications"
If you select Software, you can choose applications from a list
of known software. This list is the software programs that are
defined in the Software Catalog. This list is generally the software
that is already installed on computers on your network. This list
may contain multiple versions of the same application.
This method is useful to quickly include a known application
without manually configuring an Application rule. However, the
definition details may be too specific. For example, it is important
to note that application definitions may be version-specific,
especially those using known software details.
See "About configuring applications for metering"
If you use an application from the Software list, you can edit the
details to meet your needs.
If you select Rule, you manually create your own application
definitions. This method is useful for defining the software that
is not already installed on computers on your network. For
example, you can deny applications such as games or P2P file
sharing programs before they are ever used.
