Scripting consists of one or more of the following commands:
These commands can be added as part of a script-only task through the “Add Script Wizard ” (on the toolbar, or on the menu – Actions->New Script”), or directly added to “run program” tasks by clicking on the Scripting button below the “Program to Run” prompt.
Note: Scripting is available in the 32-bit version only.
Script Type: If Time Elapsed...
TIP: To enter a task that only involves scripting, select a task type of “Run Program”, and fill in “N/A” as the command to run. Alternately, you may wish to use the Add Script Wizard .
Scripts may also be edited “as text”. This allows for the quick entry of scripts for advanced users.
Script Templates
Script Templates (consisting of several normal script commands) can be used in the Add Script Wizard to quickly add common actions.
To change or add templates, select File->Setup->Script Templates on the main menu.
Script templates can be made interactive by using the [? TYPE Prompt] token when filling out script action details, where:
“TYPE” is one of FILE, WINDOW, or TEXT
“Prompt” is the question to be asked when the script template is applied.
Example:
The Display Message action asks for a message title and a message. If you enter [? TEXT Enter a title] into the title field, Schedule Wizard will ask for text (with the prompt “Enter a title”) when the template is used, and insert the response into the resulting script.
