Utility vs. Report scripts


Recommended Posts

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?

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.
