Developing scoped app from App Engine Studio difference

[ShAn21]

Hello Team,

We are asked to develop a custom application using App Engine Studio. Customer has informed us they have licenses for App Engine.

This topic is relatively new to me but whatever I have read it feels like its a low code solution but end of the day its a standard ServiceNow scoped App.

My question is that can we still go ahead and write Client Scripts, Script includes and Business rules for the tables developed form App Engine or are there any limitations?

Could someone please highlight main points to be noted? Is there is clear differentiator to identity apps created from App Studio and App Engine?

Regards

Custom App development using App Engine Studio leverages the Platform capabilities, like table, role, client scripts, script include, business rule, flow, etc.,

Whatever component that you develop will be tagged to your custom application scope which will be the differentiator.

Hi @ShAn2 ,

AES was designed to help users with little to no coding knowledge to build simple applications without the need to be a pro developers. In AES, the user cannot build out a Script Include or Client Scripts, unlike in Studio where the user can create them. It allows the user to develop applications without developing complex code or having a pro developer skillset.

And YES !! you can still go ahead and write Client Scripts, Script includes and Business rules for the tables developed form App Engine 

Click Preview Button of the table it will take you to native UI of the ServiceNow. You can add UI action, UI policy from there by opening the record.

The major purpose it for mon technical people to start building apps in Servicenow as Servicenow projects itself as no code/low code platform

Also, refer to this : Exploring App Engine Studio

Mark my answer correct & Helpful, if Applicable.
