Use the Script Merge page to modify an existing script by copying
steps from other scripts. The following points summarize the many
diverse functions available on the Script Merge transaction:
- You can use this transaction to renumber steps (assign them new
sequence numbers).
- You can use this transaction to move a step to a different position
within a script. When a step is moved, all references to the step
are changed to reflect the new sequence number.
- You can use this transaction to delete a step.
- You can use this transaction to copy steps from other scripts.
For example,
- You may want to create a script that is similar to an existing
script. Rather than copying all the information from the existing
script and then removing the inapplicable steps, this page may be
used to selectively copy steps from the existing script to the new
script.
- You may have scripts that are very similar, but still unique.
You can use this transaction to build large scripts from smaller scripts.
In this scenario, you may choose to create special 'mini' scripts,
one for each of the various options that may make a script unique.
Then, you could use the script merge page to select and merge the
mini scripts that are applicable for a main script.
Note:
The target script must exist prior to using this page. If you are creating a new script, you must first create the
Script and then navigate to the merge page to
copy step information.
Note:
Duplicate versus Merge. The
Script page itself has
duplication capability. You would duplicate a script if you
want to a) create a new script AND b) populate it with
all the steps from an existing script.
