Commands Details

The details for each command available on this item via right-click context menu

Download/Install with Servoy Package Manager

Opens the Servoy Package Manager. Is used to manage installed packages (components, services..).

Create new solution

Opens the New Solution Wizard.

Change resources project

Can select a new resources project (or no resources project). Some Servoy Developer resources are kept under a different project, that can be re used by different solutions. Basically , what you see under Resources is saved under the resources project. Changing the resources project will reload all those resources from the new project.

Replace server

Can modify a server name, in all places where is used in the active solution (and its modules). Can select another server name that will be saved in all workspace files.

Replace table

Can modify a table name (from a specific server), in all places where is used in the active solution (and its modules). Can select another table that will be saved in all workspace files.

Convert all absolute forms to CSS position

Convert all forms from the active solution (and its modules) from legacy absolute form type. In absolute form, location , size and anchor properties were determining the position of an element. The new CSS Position Form uses a CSS Position property for each element to determine its location and size. Is a better and more flexible mechanism. Any absolute form can be converted to a css position form (the layout will be exactly the same), however the reverse is not possible/doable.

Configure the theme

Opens the Theme Editor.

Publish

Publish solution Git repository to Servoy Cloud. The local git repository must be in sync with remote repository (no changes).

Export Solution [File Export]
