Exploring app generation in ServiceNow Studio
App generation overview
Administrators and developers must be assigned the admin and now.assist.creator roles to create and edit apps using app generation. In Xanadu Store Release 2 there is a second option to assign users the delegated developer, now_assist_panel_user, and now.assist.creator roles to edit apps (not create) using app generation. For more information about using app generation, see Generate apps with Now Assist for Creator for ServiceNow Studio
- Conversation
- Chat with Now Assist for Creator to specify the business processes you want in the application including the details on the objectives, users, workflows, and experiences.
- Refinement in Xanadu Store Release 2
- Now Assist for Creator provides a summary of the application requirements based on the information collected during the conversation. Preview the application and check that it’s accurate. If you want to make changes, stay in the conversation and keep editing. Now Assist continues to update the preview tab based on your comments and provides summaries until you choose to proceed with generating the application.
- Generation
- Now Assist for Creator generates the application and associated components, including the tables, roles, access control lists (ACLs), and record producers.
Open and verify everything that is generated. In Xanadu Store Release 2, verify in ServiceNow Studio. Modify the app to make it suit your organization's needs. For example, the app's functionality can be extended by adding flows and automation, script includes, business rules, and other features.
