## Por Que e Quando Desempenhar Esta Tarefa

If you need to create some application metadata outside of source code, you can create application files from the File Categories viewMetadata Explorer within the ServiceNow IDE. To create an application file from the ServiceNow IDE, an embedded ServiceNow AI Platform user interface opens in the editor.

## Procedimento

2. Open a workspace with an application.
3. From the Activity Bar, select the File CategoriesMetadata Explorer view(![Metadata Explorer]()).
4. Select the Create New File icon (![Create New File]()).  
   Dica:  
   Alternatively, you can right-click an existing metadata category or file type in an application and select Create New File to create an application file of that category or type.
5. From the Application menu, select an application from your workspace.
6. From the list of file types, select the type of file to create.  
   Dica:  
   Search for a file type or select a category to find the file type you need.  
7. Select Continue.
8. In the embedded ServiceNow AI Platform user interface, fill in the fields to create the application file.  
   The user interface and fields vary depending on the type of file that you created.
9. Select Submit.
