    AES is a web user interface that lets you build custom applications for your organization. You can build applications using templates which can be customized to fit your organizations needs.

    App Engine Studio home

    The App Engine Studio home page provides easy access to creating apps, viewing your app, quick start actions, and templates.

    Users can access the following in AES:
    • Create app — Create an application from scratch.

    • My recent apps — A list of applications you have accessed recently using App Engine Studio.
