Scripts ​

Scripts are JavaScript automation invoked by event handlers. A script holds a block of JavaScript code that runs in the embedded JavaScript engine when its event fires. You write the script here, then bind it to a server event on the Event Handlers page.

Scripting is a license gated feature. If your license does not include scripting, the page shows a locked notice in place of the list and the New script action is hidden.

Scripts list ​

The list shows every script defined on the server, with two columns:

  • Name: the readable name of the script.
  • Description: an optional short description (a dash is shown when empty).

When no scripts exist yet, the page shows the message No scripts yet, with the hint to create a script, then bind it to an event in Event Handlers.

Create a script ​

Click New script to open the editor. The dialog is titled New script when creating and Edit script when editing an existing one.

The editor has the following fields:

  • Name: the name of the script. A name is required; the editor reports an error if you try to save without one.
  • Description: an optional free text description.
  • Code: the JavaScript source. The code runs in the embedded JavaScript engine when its event fires.

Click Save to store the script, or Cancel to discard your changes.

Edit a script ​

Use the pencil icon on a row to open the script in the editor. Editing loads the full script (including its code) and saves only the fields you actually changed.

Clone a script ​

Use the copy icon to clone a script. The clone is created with the same description and code, and its name has the suffix " copy" appended so you can tell the copy apart from the original.

Delete a script ​

Use the trash icon to delete a script. You are asked to confirm; the confirmation warns that event handlers bound to the script will stop running. Deleting a script therefore stops any event handler that was bound to it.

Binding a script to an event ​

A script does nothing on its own. To make it run, bind it to a server event on the Event Handlers page, where you choose the event, the script, and the run settings.
