Details on Script – Act on Property Change

This dialog is used to define a script action that should be performed whenever a document property changes its value. It can be reached from the properties page of the Document Properties dialog or from the Property Control dialog.

Option	Description
Each time the property value changes, perform this action
No action	Select this radio button if no action is desired when the property changes value.
Execute the script selected below	Select this radio button to connect all property value changes to a script action.
Available scripts	Lists all currently defined scripts. Note: The Remark field can contain information about whether a script is trusted or not. All scripts that you have created yourself will be trusted. As are all scripts that are included in analyses that have been published to and opened from the library. However, if you should receive an analysis file containing a script directly from another person, the script will be listed as "Not trusted". This does not mean that the script necessarily contains any unsafe material, but you should determine whether you trust the script or not by inspecting it in the Edit Script dialog. By clicking OK in the Edit Script dialog, the script will be regarded as created by you and it will therefore be trusted. Alternatively, if you know that all scripts are safe, you can click the Trust All button below.
New...	Opens the New Script dialog where you can define a new script.
Import...	Opens a dialog where you can select an analysis file from which to import all available scripts. Note: Spotfire compares the scripts you are trying to import with already existing scripts. A script whose script body is identical to an existing script will not be imported even if it has a different name.
Edit...	Opens the Edit Script dialog where you can edit the selected script or its parameters.

Trust All	Click the Trust All button to indicate that you want all the available scripts to be trusted by Spotfire.
