Start Validation |  | Use this option to trigger a validation run (compilation) of the service. This is useful if the automatic validation is disabled. For further information about automatic validation, refer to Service Configuration Details. |
Log Analyzer |  | Use this option to access the service logs of the xUML service and the Angular Application server. Refer to Analyzing Platform Logs in the Administration Guide for detailed information regarding the Log Analyzer. |
Clear Compiler Cache |  | Use this option to clear your Compiler cache. Clearing the Compiler cache is helpful if the validation panel shows errors you cannot solve. |
Open Application |  | Use this option to open the test application in a new browser tab. You will then be able to fill your forms. Refer to Working with the Test Environment for further details. |
Open Menu |  | Use this option to open the additional menu of the controls panel which gives you access to further options. |
Which icons are enabled depends on the deployment permissions of your user and the deployment status of the respective service.
For more information about which permissions or user profiles are necessary in each case to deploy your service to the two different deployment targets, refer to Service Deployment Details.

The additional menu of the controls panel gives you access to further options:
