Creating Scripts
All types of task can have scripts that are performed at certain stages of the lifecycle of the task. User tasks can have scripts that are run for example, when the work item is opened or closed.
The Scripts tab allows you to add text that describes these scripts.
- Procedure
- Click the task to which you want to add a script.
- In the Properties view for the task, click the Scripts tab.
- The Scripts available are divided into two sets,
Process Manager Scripts and
Work Manager Scripts. Open the set you require (if one set is not available to you for this task, it is disabled)
- Click the tab for the desired type of script. Any tabs that have scripts defined have a script icon before the script name. Tabs with no script defined have an empty script icon. So, in the example above, a script is defined for the Initiate Script and Cancel Script tab.
- Select
Free Text from the
Script Defined As list. Describe your script in the area provided.
Note: You can highlight tasks in a process that contain scripts. Click in the Process Editor for the process. On the toolbar, you can see a button:
Click this to see the dropdown, and select Highlight Activities with Scripts.
This highlights all activities in a process that contain scripts, and all other activities are disabled.
