The Script element is used to open the working record in
a script. After you add this element to your flow diagram, you must
edit its attributes to associate it with a new or existing script.
You must also select the working record that will be passed to the
script.
When a script is included in a workflow, be sure it includes
a field, an exit script event, a finish script event, or a rule containing
a named event so that the flow can be advanced. Field changes, exit
script events, and finish script events can be used to advance the
flow, as can a script rule that fires a named event. See How Events are Used in Workspace and Script Rules.
- From your open workflow, select a Script element on the
canvas.
The Element Tools tab displays on the ribbon.
- Click a button in the Script button group.
The name label is updated with the name of the selected script.

Click a button in the Working Record button group to select the record you want to pass to
the script. The working record label is updated with the name of the selected working
record.
Because quotes and quote products have no corresponding script type, they are not available
as working records for Script elements.
- If more than one record of the selected type is open in
the record pool, click a button on the right of the Working Record
button group to select the record you want to pass to the script.
Tip: For a menu of available records, click Expand Working Records below the scroll bar in the Working
Record button group.
