Set up an application in Guided Application Creator to store information and
manage business processes.
Note:  
Although the video describes creating a workspace in Guided Application Creator, this feature is no longer supported. Instead, you can create a workspace using App Engine Studio. For more information, see [Building applications in App Engine Studio](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/JQiy0BCgUZUPIfI1Z0rZLg "Meet the business needs of your organization by building custom applications in App Engine Studio (AES).").

## Requirements

Plan your application before you build it. Define the business requirements of your organization, and then identify what information you want the application to track. For more information on the application development process,
