Review the apps generated by Now Assist for Creator

Use the App Engine Studio development environment to verify and modify the application that you created by Now Assist for Creator.

This video shows you how to perform the following procedure.

Before you begin

You have created an application by using Now Assist for Creator.

Role required: admin, now.assist.creator

About this task

The application generated by Now Assist provides a starting point for further development. Examine its contents and confirm they align with your business process. Enhance the application by adding functionality as needed.

Procedure

1. Navigate to the App Home page in App Engine Studio.

   

   To learn more about the AES App Home page, see App Home.

2. Review the generated tables.
   1. Under the Data heading, select the Additional actions icon () for an existing table in your application, and then select Edit.
      When you select a data table or select Edit in the Additional actions menu () to edit data for your application, Table Builder launches. Table Builder is a tool for editing the data tables that you added to your application.
   2. Check the table data for accuracy and completeness.

      Manage your application data tables on the Data tab:

      • Manage table fields.
      • Edit the table and field column properties.
      • Verify that the generated choices are implemented correctly.

      Now Assist created tables based on your instructions. Confirm that the tables capture the desired data to be collected. For example, the following table includes the fields discussed during the conversation.

      

      For more information on editing tables in Table Builder, see Modify application data tables.

3. Review the generated roles and access control lists (ACLs).
   1. Under the Security heading, select the Additional actions icon () next to a role, and then select Edit.

      You can also select the bar that lists the role you want to view.

   2. Verify that the created roles and their assigned permissions accurately represent the users of your application.

      You can configure the roles and their permissions to align with your workflow. For example, the role in the following example was granted permissions to create and update return requests. You want this role to read the requests, so you would configure that access on the Role page.

      

      For more information on configuring roles and access, see Working with roles.

4. Review the generated forms and record producers.
   1. Under the Experience heading, select the Additional actions icon () for a form or record producer in your application, and then select Edit.

      You can also select the bar that lists the experience you want to view.

   2. Modify the form if necessary.

      For example, the following form contains the desired fields with the correct choices. You can preview the form to review its contents.

      

      If you want to modify the form, you can edit it in App Engine Studio. For more information, see Forms in Table Builder.

   3. Modify the record producer if necessary.

      You can preview the record producer. Confirm that the question field types match their intended purpose.

      

      Verify that the catalog item for your record producer appears in the Service Catalog. To learn more, see Service Catalog.

      

      If you want to make changes, you can fine-tune the experience by using App Engine Studio. For more information, see Add a record producer.

What to do next

Set up the application to perform tasks according to predefined rules or logic. You can add flows, create decision tables, build playbooks, write script includes and business rules, or configure an email notification. For more information, see Add logic and automation.
