San Diego New Features

  1. Form Builder

App from Scratch with App Engine Studio

We have a new Form Builder that simplifies the creation of tables and forms, complete with support for UI policies.

In the beginning, there is Form Layout, then Form Designer and both have their pros and cons. Now AES’ Table Builder contains a Form Builder feature that brings the simplest of Form Layout and Form Designer that contains things like UI Policies to manage form field behavior and reference qualifiers (generally done at the dictionary level).

  1. Template Authoring

We can now create app templates either starting from scratch or by modifying an existing template.

From the start, AES had the potential to make apps from templates. Once we start with a table, some automation, and other vital ingredients - instead of building them from scratch, which makes building an app fast.

Digital Transformation with ServiceNow's App Engine

A new button labeled “Create New Template” on the template screen.

APP-Engine

We can use an existing AES app (or start from scratch), provide parameters (such as table name), and make the template available. When someone creates a new app from our template, they fill in the parameters.

  1. Create and Manage Notifications

App from Scratch with App Engine Studio

You can create notifications triggered from a flow action Send Notification with AES. This is different from sending emails. Send notification supports the same email notifications table as the rest of the system so that you can reuse the same notification in multiple flows. When changes are needed to a message, you can edit the mail message without impacting the flow(s).

  1. PAD & Decision Builder Integrations

APP-Engine

App Engine Management Center helps you to manage all the aspects of your app development process.

Even if you’re newly building your first app or have been developing on App Engine for a while, AES is a resource for learning, accessing, and managing your App Engine accounts and projects.

The new App Engine provides a single location for you to manage your apps, services, and data and provides a single place to access your billing information and critical account information.

You can also use the Management Center to manage your projects, such as providing access to your service catalog, application workspaces, and other projects that you’ve created.

Developers can develop innovative solutions and create new apps as it is a low-code development platform. Building apps in such an environment also helps in knowledge management.

The new Management Center also includes a new Diagnostics Portal, which provides a single location to diagnose and troubleshoot your App Engine applications. In other words, you can transform your organization and quickly find a solution for pressing needs without wasting lots of resources..
