Creating Scripts
All types of tasks can have scripts that write information to a destination-specific system. User tasks can have scripts that are run, for example, when the work item is opened or closed.
On the Scripts tab, you can add text that describes these scripts. The solution engineer translates the outline of the script into a scripting language supported by the selected destination environment.
- 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 defined script have an empty script icon. In the image, 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. For more information about how the various types of scripts are implemented, see the appropriate implementation guide.
