Note
The scripts in the Scripts pane are always executed top-to-bottom. They can be dragged up or down
in the pane to change their order of execution. For example, content loading scripts (snippets with
variable data, for instance) must come before scripts that replace data within that loaded contents.
Buttons
l
Import...: Click to open a standard Open dialog to import a script. The script must have
the .OL-script extension.
l
Export...: Click to open a standard Save As dialog to save the currently selected scripts to
disk. These scripts can be re-used in other templates. If more than one script is selected,
they are all saved to a single file. If some scripts are inside folders, this folder structure is
kept and will be restored when the scripts are imported.
l
New: Displays a drop-down that shows the following options:
l
Script: Adds a new empty basic script.
l
Text Script: The default script that is created when adding variable data to a
template. See "Variable Data" on page228.
l
Dynamic Image script: Provided that its selector refers to an image, this script
dynamically changes the image for each record. See "Dynamic Images" on
page238.
l
Email scripts: Email scripts define the sender, recipients, subject etc. of the email
that is sent, and the PDF password. See "Email header settings" on page110.
l
Control script: A Control script affects the output of a template per record as a
whole, instead of parts of the content. See "Control Scripts" on page258 and
"Control Script API" on page516.
l
Conditional Content Script: This script can conditionally show or hide any
element in the template. See "Showing content conditionally" on page236 and
"Conditional script dialog" on page319.
l
Folder: Adds a folder in which scripts can be placed for easier management. See
"Script folders" on page245.
l
Collapse All: Collapses all the folders, hiding the scripts inside of them.
