Scripts pane
The Scripts pane contains all of the scripts that are used to replace data in a template, or to
modify its look; see "Personalizing Content" on page237.
This pane allows to add, edit and manage scripts (see "Managing scripts" on page265).
Scripts can be exported and imported via the buttons or through drag & drop between the
Scripts pane and any location on the computer.
Note
Scripts included on the Scripts pane are completely distinct from the JavaScript resources found in
the "Resources pane" on page393 (see Using JavaScript).
Think of scripts as server-side in the sense that they are executed through the Connect modules
(Server and Content Creation especially). Scripts have access to the whole PrintShop Mail Connect
JavaScript API (see "Designer Script API" on page507), such as the record object.
JavaScript resources, on the other hand, are only executed after the content creation is done,
generally in a browser.
