Designing Automation scripts

In the Automation module, select a script in the tree view pane on the left in order to configure it in the details pane on the right. Alternatively, if you want to view the script details in a separate card, right-click the script and select Open in new card or Open in new undocked card.

Once a new blank script has been added (see Adding a new Automation script), you can begin to configure it. To do so, you need to specify the general configuration, add script actions, and specify variables when necessary:

As soon as there are unsaved changes in a script, “[modified]” is added to the script name in the tree view pane, as a reminder in case you navigate to a different script. However, note that if you close the Automation module, such changes will not be saved. To make sure changes to a script are saved, click the Save script button. While the script is saving, you will temporarily not be able to make any other changes.

Note

If a script contains errors, a warning message will be displayed in red at the bottom of the editor pane, and the Save script button will be temporarily disabled.
