ActionScript Basics

ActionScripts serve as containers for ActionSteps and form the foundation of automation. The simplest workflow imaginable consists of one ActionScript and a single ActionStep. The script executes sequentially from top to bottom, with the top action marking the start and the bottom action marking the end of the script.

To create an empty ActionScript, use the CTRL+N keyboard shortcut or the 'New' option in the ribbon menu. An empty tab will open on the right-hand side of the main window. You can then insert ActionSteps into this script.

A script always begins with a script header. This header includes various details about the ActionScript, such as the file name, file path, creation date, description, and author. The first three fields are automatically generated and updated, while the description and author must be manually maintained. The script header can be toggled to show or hide. It is graphically created and cannot be deleted.
