Action Editor
Introduction
Action Editor allows the user to set up an action performed in a script.
An action means any operation, for example, Change Field Value, Open a Database, Import Records, Exit the Application, Print Records, etc. Some actions allow specifying additional parameters (e.g., a database name for the Open a Database action). If the additional parameters are not specified, the application uses the default values or asks the user for additional parameters. For instance, if you do not specify the path to the database for the Open a Database action, the application will ask you to specify the database to be opened.
Interface
The Action Editor Window:
In this editor, you can select the desired action from the list located at the top of the window, and set its parameters using fields at the center of the window. For example, the picture above shows the Add Record action
and its parameters describing the type and destination of the database software record to be added. Click
the (...) button or somewhere in the white text box to change the parameter. Click the X button to
set the default parameter values. Actions may vary in a number of parameters, and
may have no parameters at all.
If the action returns its result (for example, the Add Record action returns 1 if the database software record was added successfully and 0 otherwise), a text box appears below. Use this textbox to specify the name of the variable where the action result should be saved: 
If you point at the text box, a tooltip describing the returned value will appear. You can find more details about the usage of variables in the Script designer
and Variables sections.
To save changes and close the editor window, click OK.
Click the Use Script... button to go to
Script Designer that allows carrying out several actions and using
conditions.
