Table of Contents

My library Knowledge Sources To Go is very popular, but it was intended mainly as a thematically grouped guide to standard sources and was provided by me as a PDF file. For certain topics, however, there is so much content that I can no longer include it in that document, as it cannot continue to grow forever.

For this reason, I have decided to handle such topics in individual community articles like this one instead.

 

 

What is the App Engine Studio?

 

App Engine Studio is a guided, low-code tool for developing rich web applications to store information, automate business processes, and solve business problems. This means that you can delegate development work once assigned to administrators to employees with little to no training. By delegating development to business units in your organization, administrators are freed up to address more strategic, system-wide priorities.

Key Features:

  • Build powerful apps fast to fit any business need by leveraging a suite of development tools, including guided workflows and templates.
  • Create experiences users love with UI Builder, Catalog Builder, Mobile Studio, and Flow Designer.
  • Scale apps without sprawl with straight-forward governance and tools that support both citizen and pro developers

Debugging Custom App Templates

When creating applications on ServiceNow, instead of starting from scratch you have the option of utilizing app templates. These templates help save you time and effort, coming packed with predefined data, experiences, automation, and even security. Prior to the San Diego release, the only available templates were the ones that ServiceNow provided. However, San Diego opened the doors and allowed everyone access to create templates! The November Tokyo store release further expanded this capability by finally providing developers with details on why a template can’t be published or created as-intended.

Hello Team.

 

I feel that there is an error in the product documentation for AES, when I am creating new application in AES, we are asked to configure the automation: Triggers & Actions .  When we follow along the "Service-now product" Documentation we are seeing it different steps. I believe steps has been miss-matched here please refer the screen shot.

 

 

1) This is what I see :Servicenow-  Trigger Error  ( what  I see).png

 

What's written in the document isn't same

Servicenow-  Trigger Error .png 

 

 Reference Document: ServiceNow Developers 

 

I am using Tokyo Version and latest AES, can we please check and get it corrected and help me achieve my goal of setting triggers

It would be nice if there was a published list of minimal roles required for the pipeline to operate. It's very important to note that the user tied to the credential that the Pipeline Environment records use must have admin, or else the deployment pipeline will not work.
I haven't found one piece of documentation stating this.

For the doc's feedback I can only encourage you to use the feedback option on the doc's page (thumbs up/down). This will direct your feedback directly to the author of that part for correction.

 

@Maik Skoddow Another great collection! Thanks!
