Option Description
Edit VBScript for this role Select this to maintain a script for a specific operator role.

The VBScript is only executed for operators attached to the role (Operators).

You can use the Export function of the Customization Management program to copy the VBScript to other roles if required. This avoids the need to create the same script for each role.
Edit system-wide VBScript Select this to maintain a system wide script.

Although the script is executed for all operators regardless of roles, if a system-wide script and a role-defined script exist for the same form and event, then only the role-defined script is executed for operators belonging to that role.
VBScript file This indicates the name of the VBScript file for the selected object.
Events for field This indicates the field on the form or toolbar to which you are applying a Field event.

Toolbar indicates that you are defining a VBScript for a toolbar entry (see Toolbars).

    Alternatively, you can select the Edit VBScript function from the Customized Pane Editor program.

Activity considerations

  • Operator access to the following activities within this program can be restricted. You configure this using the Operators program.

    Activity Description
    VBScript editing Controls whether an operator can edit VBScripts or change customized panes. It also controls whether an operator can access the Visual Designer program (displayed from the submenu of the icon). This does not apply to importing customized panes, which is controlled by the Allow to import customized panes activity.
