    Edit ScriptBeforeEdit.ini

    We recommend that you edit the ScriptBeforeEdit.ini taken from the Server scripting directory for automatic update of client. If this file is not yet available, use the template from the scripting package.

    1. Activate the Schneider Modsoft script by entering the Component type ID connection to the script in the section [General])

    2. If more than one different component type is connected to the script, a new entry is required for each component type.

    3. Save the file.
    4. Copy the file into the Server scripting directory for automatic update of client.

    Example:

    1
    2
