Mapping Configuration is open. See "Loading data" on page658.
Testing for errors
One way to see if a script is functional is to take a look at the Scripts pane.
Tip
Hover over the name of a script in the Scripts pane to highlight parts of the template that are
affected by the script.
Icons on the name of scripts in the Scripts pane can show a warning, information or error icon.
l
The information icon (i) shows that the selector of the script does not produce a result in
the current section.
l
The warning icon (!) appears, for example, when a script refers to an unknown field in
the record set, or when ; is missing after a statement.
l
The error icon (x) displays when the script results in an error, for example, when it uses
an undeclared variable.
