Script Alert

General information

This alert can execute a user-defined script (usually, VB Script or Java Script), where the user can define his own script code to perform some operations.

Please, note that we cannot control your script and you can block the checking process in your script alert. You can use UI windows if you want and block the check by waiting for a response from the user. In other words, the script is a program and we are not responsible for any errors in your scripts.

Use the toolbar at the top of the script settings area to access special functions. You can load/save scripts perform standard clipboard operations and specify the font of the script editor (the selected font will be restored in future sessions). The Check Script button in the right part of the toolbar allows you to check the script syntax according to the chosen script language.

Alert Settings

Besides the standard alert settings, you should specify the following parameters:

• Script Language - Select one of the script languages. Script languages are registered in the Windows Scripting Host Provider. Initially, you have only VB Script and Java Script in Windows.
• Script Source - Script source. Note that you should have at least one function in the script. This will beits startup function. Also, you can use the Check Syntax button to check the syntax of your script without executing it. This property supports System Environment Variables.
• Run Function - The name of the startup function to run when the alert is activated. It can be case-sensitive or case-insensitive. It depends on the type of script language you choose. You can either type it manually or select it from the drop-down list.
