Note: When you open the Servoy Developer opens (after closing the Welcome window), you will see an iServoy view the StartPage is shown in the Editor area. This view page shows links to online Servoy resources and headlines, including the online forum, blog, new releases, and events.

The Solution Explorer view is a hierarchal hierarchical tree view of all the objects available in Servoy Developer. It is central to the Servoy development environment; everything you that one can do in Developer can be found in the Solution Explorer.
The Solution Explorer has two parts, the tree of objects (appears on top) and a contextual list (appears below). Depending on what is selected in the tree view, different objects will appear in the list view.
The following nodes in the Solution Explorer are of note:
Users can open and work with any resource from the Solution explorer by selecting the resource and accessing the context menu. In addition, the following toolbar at the top of Solution Explorer provides navigational functions:
Items opened from the Solution Explorer will open in an appropriate editor in the main Editor Area. For example, users can select a form to open in either a Form Editor (a graphical view of the form) or a Script Editor (a text editor).

Tip: Additional Task tags can be customized and/or added via the Preferences menu, under the Javascript JavaScript node. |
Other views are available via the menu item Window>Show Window > Show View. Newly activated views are typically shown on the right panel (as a tab next to Properties), but users can drag the tab to any desired location in the perspective. Once a view is active, it will remain in the perspective even when Servoy is closed and reopened. The default Servoy Design Perspective perspective can be reset at any time using Window>Reset Window > Reset Perspective, provided the modified perspective was not saved as the default Servoy Design Perspective perspective.
Commonly used Eclipse views include the Project Explorer and Navigator. For more information, visit the Help menu.
