Setting Tizen Studio Web Preferences

You can customize your Tizen Studio with the Web preferences introduced in the following sections.

Setting Web Preferences

To set Web preferences, go to Window > Preferences > Tizen Studio > Web in the Tizen Studio menu.

Widget ID

To set a customized prefix for the widget ID, go to Window > Preferences > Tizen Studio > Web, and enter the value in the Widget ID prefix field. The default value of this field is http://yourdomain/.

The value is automatically used in all widget IDs when you create a new Web application in Tizen Studio. You can view the widget ID in the config.xml file of the project.
