Overview

Projects may use scripting to react to a variety of events and actions that occur within the project's lifecycle. There are two major scopes for scripting: Gateway scripts and Client scripts. Gateway scripts execute on the Ignition Gateway, which means that they always execute in one place.  Client scripts execute in the client, which means that they may never execute (if no clients are running), or they may execute many times. Client scripts will also execute in the Designer, but only in Preview Mode.

Note that these project global event scripts are not to be confused with the component event handler scripts.
