l Folders make it easier to change the order of execution for a bunch of scripts (see:
"Changing the order of execution" on the previous page to learn why the order of
execution is important). Dragging a folder up or down will cause all the scripts in that
folder to be executed earlier or later, respectively.
To make a new folder on the Scripts pane:
1.
In the Scripts pane, click the black triangle on the New button.
2.
Click Folder. The folder will appear in the list of scripts.
3.
Change the name of the new folder: right-click the folder and click Rename.
4. Drag scripts to the folder.
Tip
It may be helpful to put scripts that have an effect on the same context or section in one
folder, because you can set the execution scope of scripts per folder (see: "Execution
scope" below).
Note
Control scripts are always executed first, regardless of where they are in the Scripts pane.
They can not be excluded from execution for a specific context or section, using the
execution scope of a folder; see "Execution scope" below. What you can do is disable the
script or the containing folder; see "Enable/disable scripts" on the next page.
Execution scope
A particular script may be used in one context or section, but not in other contexts or sections.
Nevertheless, when processing the template, the Designer tries to find the selector of each
script in all contexts and sections – unless the script is located in a scripts folder for which the
execution scope has been set to the relevant contexts or sections. So, setting the execution
scope of a folder saves processing time.
