Notes
• The trigger will activate regardless of how the object is formatted.
• If the object is set to not allow entry, the script can only be triggered if the object is entered
using a script step.
• The OnObjectEnter, OnObjectExit, and OnObjectKeystroke script triggers can be activated
when assigned to summary and calculation fields.
• Clicking into a different portal row will activate the OnObjectExit script trigger set on the row
being exited and then the
OnObjectEnter script trigger for the new row. As with
OnObjectExit script triggers assigned to other objects, the script trigger is activated before
the exit occurs, and the script determines whether the exit is successful based on the script
result.
• Scrolling does not make the object active and does not activate this script trigger.
• See Changing object data without activating script triggers for a list of other actions that do
not activate this script trigger.
• OnObjectExit will not activate from a portal in Find mode.

OnPanelSwitch applies to the entire panel control and not to individual panels. To control switching
to particular panels, use the
Get(TriggerCurrentPanel) and Get(TriggerTargetPanel) functions.
