App Engine Studio is available through the ServiceNow Store and requires installation from there. This release also deprecates the uibuilderadmin role within the AES Portal UI Template plugin, though admin and delegated developer roles still maintain access.
Key Features
- Granular Configuration Admin Roles: New admin roles allow developers to perform specific administrative tasks without needing full admin privileges, enhancing security and role-based access control.
- Separate Release Notes for App Engine Management Center: AEMC release notes are now maintained separately, reflecting its role in managing applications created not only in AES but also in Creator Studio and ServiceNow Studio.
- Integration with Related ServiceNow Applications: AES works closely with other ServiceNow features such as Access Control, Catalog Builder, Configuration Management Database (CMDB), Workflow Studio, Integration Hub, Mobile App Builder, Source Control, and more, enabling a comprehensive app development and lifecycle management experience.
- Enhanced App Lifecycle and Collaboration Tools: Integration with ReleaseOps for deployment automation, Now Assist AI capabilities for app generation and runtime enhancement, and various builders (UI, Workspace, Table) to customize user experiences.
Activation and Practical Use
To use App Engine Studio, customers must request installation from the ServiceNow Store. This centralized approach ensures that customers access the latest versions and cumulative release notes. The Zurich release improves administrative flexibility and streamlines management across related development environments.
Customers can leverage AES with complementary ServiceNow applications to build, customize, deploy, and manage applications efficiently while maintaining robust access control and collaboration mechanisms.
The ServiceNow® App Engine Studio application enables creators of varying skill levels to build applications that meet the immediate needs of your organization. App Engine Studio was enhanced and updated in the Zurich release.
Changed in this release
- Granular configuration admin roles
- Several new granular admin roles enable developers to complete administrative configuration tasks without requiring the full admin role.
- Separate App Engine Management Center release notes
- The App Engine Management Center (AEMC) release notes now appear separately from the App Engine Studio release notes because you can use AEMC to manage app development for apps built in App Engine Studio, Creator Studio, and ServiceNow Studio.
