Global MetaScript | Opens a MetaScript editor for defining the Global MetaScript for the form. The Global MetaScript is MetaScript code that is executed only when the form is opened in Virtual Ticket. The script is called "Global" because the functions it defines are global within the scope of the form - i.e. functions defined within the Global MetaScript of a form may be called from the scripts defined for individual form fields. Additional Information on writing Global MetaScript can be found in "Writing Global MetaScript For A Form". |
Server-Side MetaScript | Opens a MetaScript editor for defining the Server-Side MetaScript for the form. |
