jfcorbett Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 What is the difference, if any, between "Utility" and "Report" scripts? I'm aware of the dictionary definition of those two terms, but if I write a new script, does it matter if I classify it as the one or the other type? Does WAsP treat them differently? What if my script does a bit of both? Link to comment
Duncan Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Hello, it's a rather arbitrary distinction: any script can just describe itself as one or the other, and will be presented accordingly.Generally, the idea was that reports would be more standardised and should usually produce something to see or save (word, excel, html, etc). But we thought that there might be all kinds of useful tricks and automations which people would need or create, and so we have these 'utility' scripts for those. They might be less reliable, and might actually change something in the workspace hierarchy.Does that help? Hope so. D. Link to comment
jfcorbett Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Yes, I think this helps. The take-home message is that Utility and Report script are not treated in any way differently by WAsP, right? Or rather, the only difference is what sub-menu the script shows up in. -- nothing else Link to comment
