Script element
Script is a flow element that executes a script program specified by the user to process, produce
or consume jobs.
A script flow element can be a processor, producer or consumer depending on the specifications
in the attached script declaration. In addition, the script declaration may inject extra properties
into the script element and into its outgoing connections. These extra properties serve as
arguments to the script program.
For more information on scripting in Switch, refer to the Scripting reference on page 367.

Script package
A script package is an archive file (with filename extension "sscript") that contains all information
about a script. It includes a script declaration, a script program, and possibly an icon to be
displayed in the Switch flow designer instead of the standard script element icon. A script package
can be exchanged between users as a single entity.
To assign a new script package (created with SwitchScripter or received from a third party) to a
script element, right-click on the script element in the canvas and select the "Choose script
package" menu item, or edit the "Script package" property in the properties editor.
To edit the script package selected in a script element, right-click on the script element in the
canvas and select the "Edit script package" menu item. The script package will be opened in
SwitchScripter for viewing or editing.
Connections
The type and maximum number of outgoing connections for a script element are determined by
the script declaration attached to the script element. Furthermore, the script declaration may
cause the script element to inject extra properties into its outgoing connections.
