    • Creator Studio makes creating apps easier by dividing their creation into simple steps. In this section, we'll explain each one.

    All the steps involve requests. So, we'll start by explaining how Creator Studio stores requests.

    Summary:
    After reading this section, you'll understand:
    • How requests are stored
    • How people enter requests
    • How your app automatically does things

    Let's talk about storing requests

    When people make a request, we have to store it somewhere so someone can review it later.

    Tables hold requests

    Creator Studio stores requests in a table. Each row in that table is a request. Here's a simplified version of a table with three requests.

    Use cases:
    • My monitor stopped working. I need a new one.
    • I'm requesting a new mouse so I can have one at home and in the office.
    • My laptop is over four years old. I want to request a replacement.

    People enter requests using forms

    How do people enter requests that eventually get stored in the app's table? They use your app to fill out a form. The questions on the form contain the information your fulfiller needs.

    In our app's table, questions are stored as part of the record, which is composed of all the information on the form.

    Request Name Email Request date
    I need a new monitor. Sushma Singh SushmaSingh@example.com 04-05-2024
    I need a new laptop. Peter Smith PeterSmith@example.com 05-01-2024
    In this example, the form has four fields:
    • Request
    • Requester's name
    • Requester's email address
    • Request date

    These fields contain all the info the reviewer needs to accept or reject the request. You'll have to figure out all the information your reviewer needs to make a decision. Later, we'll show you how to create a form (using Now Assist or on your own) in the section Working with forms in Creator Studio.

    Key terms:
    Requester
    Someone requesting something, like a piece of equipment or permission to do something.
    Fulfiller
    Someone who works on requests. Fulfillers may also approve or deny requests, depending on any approval automation for the app.

    Okay, now you understand that requesters fill out forms to create requests and Creator Studio stores those requests in the app's table.
