Accessing the Scripting Area

This topic describes how you access the scripting area in the Administration - SmartScript screen. The view that you access in this screen depends on whether you want to add script to a script or to a question.

To access the scripting area

1. Navigate to the Administration - SmartScript screen.
2. Select the option from the following table that applies to you.

   If you want to ...	Then ...
   Add scripting to a SmartScript object	Navigate to the Scripts view > Programs subview
   Add scripting to a SmartScript Question object	Navigate to the Questions view > Programs subview

3. Create a new record in the Programs view, select the event type from the Name drop-down list, and the Script language from the Program Language drop-down list.
4. Click Save in the Programs view.
5. Add your script in the Scripts text area that appears below the Programs subview.

   NOTE:  Each script has the option of using the Siebel VB or Siebel eScript languages. However, you must use the same language throughout a script. For a question, you also have the option of using Siebel VB or Siebel eScript. Every question method has to use the same language for each question. This means that the languages can be different for different questions, but within the same question, the languages must be the same.
