Example 1
Runs a script on the server and sends the current layout name, record number, and customer email
address as the script parameter. The server navigates to the layout and record specified in the
parameter, saves a snapshot link of the current record, emails the snapshot link to the email address
specified in the parameter, and returns a result. The client fetches the script result from the server
and displays it in a custom dialog.
