online applications

Web-based submission processes

Online applications are software programs accessed through a web browser rather than installed on a device.

The term also refers to forms submitted electronically—job applications, college applications, visa applications: I filled out six online applications before lunch.

Both senses share the idea of doing remotely what once required physical presence or local software.
