Espresso Scripts

The Espresso Application Builder program includes a script editor that lets you add scripting to an Espresso component. This allows you to build additional business logic into Espresso.

Exploring

Things you can do in this program includes:

  • Execute a workflow when a sales order is created.
  • Change the color of an account balance when it reaches a certain amount.
  • Prevent an operator from adding a sales order line against a specific warehouse.

A script can be added against a component (when the component is loaded or refreshed) or against a particular field on the component (when it gains focus, or after it is changed).

The events available are dependent on the application you are maintaining.
