Understanding and planning your scripts
Script states
A script can have one of three states:
Edited
The script is created or edited, and saved, but not validated.
Validated
The script syntax is checked for errors, and the script is ready to be acti-
vated.
Activated
The script is active in the system.
When you finish writing or updating a script in the Web Scripts Editor, you must
validate and activate it before it can process contacts. When you no longer want
the script to process contacts, you can deactivate it. You can also edit and
reactivate a script that is in the Activated state. Revalidation is performed when
you activate the script.
You can save a script without validating or activating it.
Validation
Before you put a script into service, or activate it, you must ensure that the
syntax and semantics are correct. This process is called validation. If the script
contains no errors, validation produces an executable version of the script. If the
script contains errors, validation produces a list of those errors and the
corresponding lines of the script.
Script validation detects only syntax errors. It cannot detect logic errors.
Activation
An activated script processes contacts. A script must be validated before it is
activated. The system validates a script automatically before it is activated, if
you have not validated the script manually.
If a script is activated but is not referenced by the master script (directly, or
indirectly through other scripts), it does not process contacts.
