## Commands Details

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

### Open in Form Editor

Opens the [Form Editor](/reference/servoy-developer/object-editors/form-editor.md). A form has two parts, user interface file and scripting file. In Form Editor you can change the design of the form.

### Open Form Hierarchy

Opens the [Form Hierarchy](/reference/servoy-developer/views/form-hierarchy.md). There you see the hierarchy tree (according to parent-child relation).

### Open in Debug Client

Open form in Titanium Client. The client opened from Servoy Developer is a Debug Client (as you can debug through it). If you have an opened Client, you can open the selected form in it (as main form).

### Open in Script Editor

Opens the form [Script Editor](/reference/servoy-developer/object-editors/scripting-editor.md). Each form has a design file and a scripting file (javascript code). Is used to encapsulate code specific to that form, that should not be reused from another form (except through inheritance).

### Create variable

Opens the [create new variable editor](/reference/servoy-developer/object-editors/variable-editor.md), then it switches to [Script Editor](/reference/servoy-developer/object-editors/scripting-editor.md) of the same form scripting file, with the particular variable highlighted.
