# AES user interface

Learn about the App Engine Studio \(AES\) user interface.

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.

\[Omitted image "aes-landing-purple-update.png"\] Alt text: AES home page with sections for your apps, templates, and resources.

Use the top navigation bar to view your apps, access app templates, and find help resources. You can also access the help center by selecting the \[Omitted image "aes-help-center-icon.png"\] Alt text: Help center icon in the top right.

Users can access the following in AES:

-   Create app — Create an application from scratch.
-   Quick start — Links to add objects to apps, browse app templates, and learn more about the App Engine Studio tools.
-   My recent apps — A list of applications you have accessed recently using App Engine Studio.
-   Templates — A list of templates you can use to create an application with preconfigured data, experience, logic and automation, and security.

    **Note:** If you're in the App Engine Studio User Limited group, you won't see any templates on this tab.


## My Apps tab

View and search the applications that you created.

\[Omitted image "aes-my-apps-tab-purple.png"\] Alt text: On the My apps tab, you can view and search the applications that you created.

## Templates tab

Provides a list of available app templates.

\[Omitted image "aes-templates-tab-purple.png"\] Alt text: The Templates tab lists all available app templates.

## Resources tab

View tutorials and helpful resources to get started in AES.

\[Omitted image "aes-resources-tab-purple.png"\] Alt text: The Resources tab provides tutorials and guidance to help you get started using AES.

## App home

Add data, experience, logic and automation, and security to your app from the app home.

**Note:** When viewing an app home page in AES, if you tab to a section \(such as tables or experiences\) with more than three items, the **Sort by** option enables you to display them alphabetically or temporally, by **Newest** or **Oldest**.

\[Omitted image "aes-app-home-purple-update.png"\] Alt text: The app home page displays app elements, such as data tables and end-user forms.

Some objects require access depending on your role. You can request access by selecting **Contact your system administrator** to become a delegated developer. For more information on the delegated developer role, see [Delegate developers using AES](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/application-development/app-engine-studio/aes-app-dev-workflow.md).

## Application properties

View general settings of your application such as the name, description, and logo. You can also open your application in ServiceNow Studio or delete your application.

\[Omitted image "aes-app-properties-purple.png"\] Alt text: View and update the application settings.

## Repository configuration

View and edit the source control repository settings for your application.
