Using the Script Editor

To edit a package's script commands, select eScript in the Packaging Workbench. Here you can edit, delete and add commands or snippets.

Double-click and existing command or drag a new command from the command window into the eScript.

There are two ways of adding a command to the eScript:

Double-click the command in the command selection.
Drag a new command from the Commands to the designated location in the eScript.

In both cases a command-specific dialog pops up.
Please refer to the Online help for more information on the commands (in the command’s context menu or by pressing F1 in the respective command dialog).
The same generally applies to snippets. You can customize any variable you enter in a snippet if you have the permission. Refer to Using Snippets for more information.

The following options are available for editing a command in the eScript.

Double-click the command.
Right-click the command to cut, copy, edit or delete it.

This toolbar is displayed when the eScript window is opened:
