Scripts screen details

The Scripts Overview screen, Scripts content screen, and Scripts revision history screen display information associated with the script selected in the master pane list of scripts as a read-only view.


	NOTE: The scripts provided by Insight Control server provisioning are read only, so you cannot edit those scripts. Instead, save the script to a new name by selecting Actions→Save as from the Scripts screen and then edit the copy.

To edit the script, select Actions→Edit or select Edit (see Edit scripts).

To create a new script select Actions→Create script (see Create scripts).

The Scripts Overview screen shows general information and script details. To view just the script description and contents, select Script from the View menu of any Scripts screen or select Script > in the Overview screen.

In the heading at the top of the Scripts screens, there are filter selectors that enable you to control the amount and type of information displayed in the details pane. You can filter data on the Scripts screens by Source (HP-provided and User-provided) and Type.
