App Designers (Entity Designers, Page Designers)

App Designers develop and enhance the AgilePoint NX apps over their lifecycle. Like App Owners, different apps can have different App Designers. They would work alongside App Owners, business analysts, and stakeholders to design and develop the business applications as per requirements. These users are also responsible for working with a configuration management team to move apps and the corresponding data entities, access tokens, shared variables from one environment to another.
