2. In the Script Source box, make changes as needed. Save.

The original (external) script is not affected by changes you make to the script in Web Admin.

NOTE: If you have a custom script open in Web Admin, and you import an additional script, the source code of the new script overwrites the source code in the Script Source box. You do not receive a warning message.

Export a custom script

1. Add a new script or click an existing custom script name.
2. On the script properties page, click Export Script File.

The script is exported as a .vbs file using the friendly name as the filename. Example: myscript.vbs

Edit a custom script

1. Click SCRIPTS and click the script name. The properties page for the script opens.
2. Click Edit. Make changes and Save.

NOTE: If you change the friendly name of a script and save, that same script is saved with the new friendly name. To use an existing script as the starting point for a new script, see Use an existing custom script to create a new script in the last row of this table.

Edit a custom script in an external editor

1. Click SCRIPTS and click the script name. On the script properties page, click Export Script File.
2. Using the external editor, make changes in the exported file and save.
3. In Web Admin, click the script name and click Edit. Click Import Script File and select the file. The imported file overwrites the Script Source. Save.

2. Add a new custom script and give it a Friendly Name.
3. Import the script that you exported (in Step 1). Make changes as needed, and save.
