Notes
• A Pause/Resume Script step unfreezes a Freeze Window script step.
• In FileMaker WebDirect, if the Pause/Resume Script step pauses a script and the web user
is idle for longer than the session timeout specified in the FileMaker
Server Admin Console,
the web user’s connection will close and the script will end early, which may lead to
unexpected results.
• In Custom Web Publishing, this script step is supported, but you should avoid using it. If the
script remains in a paused state until the session times out, then the script will not be
completed.
Example 1
Goes to the Print Invoices layout and pauses. The user can click a Continue button on the status
toolbar or the layout to print the records.
Go to Layout ["Print Invoices"]
Pause/Resume Script [Indefinitely]
