The application development process starts with planning. Consider how the application will work, who will use it, and how it improves user experience.

Planning on the Next Experience

App intake
With your carefully planned idea in hand, you're ready to submit it through Application Intake for approval and development in App Engine Studio (AES).
Define tables and fields for application records
Applications use tables and records to manage data and processes, such as Incident, Problem, and CMDB.
Security: App Engine Studio roles and permissions
Administrators assign roles to give team members permission to configure or use AES.

Planning on UI16

Delegated development
Delegated development enables designated users without a system admin role to develop or deploy applications on the ServiceNow AI Platform.
Schema map for tables
The schema map displays the details of tables and their relationships in a visual way, enabling administrators to view and easily access different parts of the database schema.
Table Administration
Administrators can use Table Administration to view and modify the database structure.
Team Development
Team Development supports parallel development on multiple, non-production ServiceNow instances.

Related applications and features

Security: Access control
By default, when application administration is enabled for a scoped application, access control (ACL) rules for the scoped application are applied. If no ACL rules for the scoped application are found, global ACL rules can apply.
Security: Edge Encryption
ServiceNow® Edge Encryption encrypts sensitive data on your company premises before sending it over the internet to your ServiceNow instance (encrypted in flight), where it remains encrypted at rest.
Security: Roles

Set up the security and roles for your UI Builder instance. Security and roles in UI Builder are controlled through your application's scope, domain separation, and protection policy settings.

Security: UI policies
Create a UI policy to define custom process flows for tasks.
Security: Users and groups
Create users and groups using the ServiceNow AI Platform user administration feature.
ServiceNow application repository
After you develop and test a custom application, you can make the application available to company instances by publishing it to the ServiceNow application repository.
Source Control integration
Enable application developers to integrate with a Git Source Control repository. Save and manage multiple versions of an application from a non-production instance.
