Today, Creator Studio: Creating applications without writing code provide a fast and convenient way to develop an application. Whether you’re building a small tool-based application or a big portal, these tools can be very serviceable.
I built a simple Recipe App app using Creator Studio called Gourmet – designed to inspire and guide both novice cooks and seasoned chefs alike. With an extensive library of recipes from around the world, Gourmet simplifies meal planning, shopping, and cooking with easy-to-follow instructions, personalized recommendations, and helpful cooking tips.
Key features include:
- Recipe Discovery: Explore thousands of recipes by cuisine, dietary preferences, ingredients, or meal type.
- Step-by-Step Instructions: Detailed cooking instructions with photos and videos to guide you through each step.
The request form captures all the relevant details such as ingredients, quantity, direction and any special instructions. Once submitted the request is automatically routed to an approval group composed by chefs around the world. This ensures all recipes are reviewed and validated quickly. Upon approval, the system creates a task for the chefs to replicate , ensuring the recipe is valid and can be used by anyone.
Requirements
- Create a PDI on developer.service-now.com.
- The plugin ‘Creator Studio’ is automatically entitled on all ServiceNow instances and all ServiceNow developer portal instances. Check if its installed in your instance.
Lets start
This should be your homepage.
Click in the button “Open Creator Studio” or in the filter navigator find App Engine Studio > Creator Studio. It should look like this:
Click in “Create app” and type the following:
- Name: Gourmet
- Description: Gourmet is your ultimate kitchen companion, designed to inspire and guide both novice cooks and seasoned chefs alike. With an extensive library of recipes from around the world, Gourmet simplifies meal planning, shopping, and cooking with easy-to-follow instructions, personalized recommendations, and helpful cooking tips.
The next menu will help you to choose a template to start: Creator Studio Default Template. (documentation here Creator Studio apps and tables).
Lets skip it for now, we need to create a new catalog and new categories after we finish the form.
Time to design the form
We want to create a Catalog Item where the user can request a recipe. You can preview the form or submit for review.
In the form submission tab, you have a view of your table.
Now mark the form as “Ready”. Now its time to confirm if your recent form is publish and available.
- Go to the Employee Center.
- Try to search for the Recipe Submission Request and you will find your recent form.
- Fill up all the fields and press submit. This will create a Gourmet Record where you can confirm using the Creator Studio.
And in less than 10min you just created your first record producer.
Thank you and drop any comment 🙂
