Scripting › Support for User Defined Macros (UDM) › Control Options

Control Options

There are some control options that can be displayed in the UDM User Interface when a list of scripts is built as follows:

Record Keystrokes

Starts the keystroke recording process. This option is only available if keystrokes are not currently being recorded.

Save Script

Lets the user specify a name and textual description for the script that will be created from the recorded keystrokes. This option is only available if keystrokes are currently being recorded or if recording has been paused.

Pause Recording

Pauses the keystroke recording process. This option is only available if keystrokes are currently being recorded.

Resume Recording

Resumes the keystroke recording process. This option is only available if keystroke recording is currently paused.

Cancel Recording

Cancels the keystroke recording and deletes any keystrokes already recorded. This option is only available if keystrokes are currently being recorded or if recording has been paused.

Delete Script

Lets the user select a script to be deleted. This option is only available if keystrokes are not currently being recorded.

Edit Script

Lets the user select a script to be edited. This option is only available if keystrokes are not currently being recorded.

The control options are only displayed in the Script Selection DDL if the user has *ALL authority, as defined in their member in YSCRIPT.

Selecting either Save Script, Delete Script, or Edit Script prompts the user for a name for the script (and, in the case of Save Script, the textual description of the script). The user is prompted for the script name using a popup window.
