    Legacy application creator

    Application developers have options when creating applications.

    Note: As of the New York release, Guided Application Creator is the default way to set up applications on the Now Platform. There is no migration path from the legacy application creator to Guided Application Creator.

    You can add a property to force legacy application creator to open instead of Guided Application Creator. For more information, see Activate the legacy application creator.

    Figure 1. Sample application creation options
    Application creation options

    To start creating an application, navigate to System Applications > Studio and click Create Application. Select one of the available options.

    • Start from scratch.
    • Create custom application.
    • Start from an existing service (available only when the Service Creator plugin is activated).
    • Start from a template.
    • Start from global.

    The application creation method determines the application scope.

    After you create an application, it appears on the applications list (System Applications > Applications) and is set as the current application in the application picker.
