MODIFYING SCRIPT CONTENT
After you have named the new script, select the script actions and arrange them in the order you would like them to execute.
1. Click a script in the Scripts pane.
2. Click the Content tab under “Modify script,” and then click Modify. The Create Script File dialog box opens (refer to Figure 117).
The left pane in the Create Script File dialog box lists all possible actions. The right pane displays a description of the currently selected
action and the Script Actions pane, which lists the actions you have selected and all applicable settings.
Figure 117. Create Script File Dialog Box
3. Add actions to the script file by selecting an action from the Actions pane, and then dragging it into the right pane. Or, double-click the
action, which automatically adds it to the right pane.
4. Add settings for each action. Some actions do not have any settings associated with them. For example, “Restart entire system” has only
one possible meaning and does not need to have a device listed for the command to be meaningful. However, an action such as “Display
video” needs settings, such as camera source and destination monitor, to execute the command.
NOTE: Actions may be used more than once with different parameters. For example, there may be three lobby cameras that you want to
reposition when an alarm is triggered. For this purpose, select the “Preset” action three times.
A red X indicates that an action setting is missing.
5. To modify the settings:
a. In the Script Actions pane, double-click the action you want to edit, or click the action, and then click Modify Values. The Set Element
Values screen appears (refer to Figure 118).
