Overview

This section contains the user interface (UI) reference.

Since Studio is based on IntelliJ IDEA, it borrows from it the general layout and the way of using the UI, so it's recommended that you take this guided tour before reading on.

In this section you'll find the description of all the parts and features of the user interface that are peculiar to Studio. Please refer to the IntelliJ IDEA documentation—also accessible through the Studio Help menu—for all the other aspects of the UI.

Layout

This is what the UI looks like:

The editor is the main area where to modify files.
Along the edges there are numerous tool windows, most of them are minimized. Opened tool windows occupy part of the workspace around the editor.

Studio menu

The menu bar provides a selection of the IntelliJ IDEA general purpose menus plus the specific Studio menu whose commands are:

Main toolbar

The main toolbar provides a mix of Studio specific commands and IntelliJ IDEA commands.

Specific commands are:

Icon	Name	Description
	Connect to Platform	Connect to Platform application
	Connected to profile	(after successfully connecting to the Platform application) Edit the connection to the Platform application
	View Platform Projects	(after successfully connecting to the Platform application) Open the Platform Projects window
	Build	Build the project or—in case of multi-module projects—the current module
	Analyze Document	Analyze the test file selected in the editor
	Analyze All Documents	Analyze all the project's test files
/	Enable Script Debugger / Disable Script Debugger	Turn on and off the script debugger
	Knowledge Graph	Open the Knowledge Graph tool window
	Knowledge Graph Editor	Open the Knowledge Graph Editor Settings window
	Studio Settings	Open the Studio Settings window
	Build Project	Build the project or—in case of multi-module projects—all modules

Note

During debugging sessions, the main toolbar also displays a helpful replica of the commands of the Debugger tab.

Navigation bar

The navigation bar is a compact navigation alternative to the project tree view available in the Project tool window.
Like the breadcrumbs feature of many Web sites and applications, it displays the in-project relative path of the current file or folder which can be either the file selected in the editor or the file/folder selected in the Project tool window.

Clicking on a folder along the path opens a list from which you can choose a file to open or a sub-folder to navigate to.

The list has a context menu composed of the IntelliJ IDEA commands plus the specific Studio New command that allows you to create project files types that are consistent with the nature of the folder. For example,in the rules folder—dedicated to rules and script files—you can create a Test File, a Rules file, a List File or a Script File.

Tool windows

Tool windows allow examining the results of the last project run, debugging scripts, managing certain types of files more easily than with the editor and much more.
Most of this section of the manual is devoted to the description of the available tool windows.

Customization

IntelliJ IDEA has many parameters that allow you to customize its appearance and functionality.
Studio specific configuration parameters are managed with the Studio Settings window.
