As this is an area that requires advanced skills, this Help File is not the appropriate place to explain this function in detail. Following is some basic information only. Contact support@happen.biz if further information is required.

 

Jim2 makes extensive use of scripting technology, providing unparalleled power to tailor to specific company and/or industry requirements.

 

As a default, the scripting engine is not available. This is to protect from potential issues with the database. This is also governed by Jim2 Security.

 

All information in this area is only relevant if on premises customers have permission to access the scripting engine. Scripts are written in DelphiScript (Pascal).

 

Scripts can easily be imported, and instantly become seamlessly integrated into Jim2.

 

Info

Note: The Scripting Engine is not accessible for Jim2.Cloud customers at any time.
