Dialog for component-independent scripts

When you click the button for a component-independent script, a dialog shows the following message:

Running script "%1" ....

If the script encounters an error, the system displays an error message.

Dialog for component-specific scripts

Before you can run a component-specific script, you must select at least one component in the Project tree or in the Component details area.

If you select n components, the system warns you that the script will run for all n components. You can then choose to proceed with the script or cancel the action.

Info

You can hide this warning. The warning setting can also be configured in the Client settings of the UserClient.

  • A progress bar appears while the script runs.
  • You can cancel the script for multiple components at any time. If you cancel, the system shows a note that the script is still running for the current component. This execution cannot be stopped.
  • If an error occurs, the system displays it and asks how you want to proceed.
