.
This is helpful when you are actually interested in a specific page that is accessed in a number of steps,
but for this or that reason you cannot specify this page as the start page for debugging, for example, because you need to "come" to this page with certain data.
Configuration
| Item | Description |

| Server | From this drop-down list, select the server access configuration to interact with the Web server where the application is executed. |
| URL | In this text box, specify the host element of the request in question. Type element relative to the host specified in the debug server configuration. As you type, IntelliJ IDEA composes the URL address on-the-fly and displays it below the text box. |

From this drop-down list, choose the relevant request type. The available options are:
|
| Query String | In this text box, type the query string of the request, this string will be appended to the request after the ? symbol. |

Toolbar
| Item | Shortcut | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Insert | Click this button to add new configuration to the list. |
| Delete | Click this button to remove the selected configuration from the list. |
| Ctrl+D | Click this button to create a copy of the selected configuration. |

 or 
| Alt+Up or Alt+Down | Use these buttons to move the selected configuration or group of configurations (folder) up and down in the list.
The order of configurations or folders in the list defines the order, in which configurations appear in the Run/Debug drop-down list on the main toolbar. |

If one or more run/debug configurations have the focus, then the selected run/debug configurations 0 are automatically moved to the newly created folder. If only a category has the focus, then an empty folder is created. |
Common options
| Item | Description | ||||||||||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Name | In this text box, specify the name of the current run/debug configuration. This field does not appear for the default run/debug configurations. | ||||||||||||||||||
| Defaults | This node in the left-hand pane of the dialog box contains the default run/debug configuration settings. Select the desired configuration to change its default settings in the right-hand pane. The defaults are applied to all newly created run/debug configurations. | ||||||||||||||||||
| Temporary configurations limit | Specify here the maximum number of temporary configurations to be stored and shown in the Select Run/Debug Configuration drop-down list. | ||||||||||||||||||
| Share |
Select this check box to make the run/debug configuration available to other team members.
If the directory-based project format is used, the settings for a run/debug configuration are stored in a separate xml file in the .idea\runConfigurations folder if the run/debug configuration is shared and in the .idea\workspace.xml file otherwise. If the file-based format is used, the settings are stored in the .ipr file for shared configurations or in the .iws file for the ones that are not shared. This check box is not available when editing the run/debug configuration defaults. | ||||||||||||||||||
| Single instance only | If this check box is selected, this run/debug configuration cannot be launched more than once.
Every time a new run/debug configuration is launched, IntelliJ IDEA checks the presence of the other instances of the same run/debug configuration, and displays a confirmation dialog box. If you click OK in the confirmation dialog box, the first instance of the runner will be stopped, and the next one will take its place. This make sense, when usage of certain resources can cause conflicts, or when launching two run/debug configurations of the same type consumes too much of the CPU and memory resources. If this check box is not selected, it is possible to launch as many instances of the runner as required. So doing, each runner will start in its own tab of the Run tool window. | ||||||||||||||||||
| Before launch | In this area, specify the actions to be performed prior to executing the current run/debug configuration.
