Client Script

Client scripts enable JavaScript execution in the web browser during specific client events such as form loading, submission, or field changes. They can be used to manipulate form fields, set field values based on user roles, and display messages. There are four types of client scripts: onLoad, onChange, onSubmit, and onCellEdit, each triggered by different user interactions.

Client Script

Client scripts allow the system to run JavaScript on the client (web browser)
when client-based events occur, such as when a form loads, after form
submission, or when a field changes value.

Use client scripts to configure forms, form fields, and field values while the user
is using the form. Client scripts can:

> make fields hidden or visible

> make fields read only or writable

> make fields optional or mandatory based on the user's role

> set the value in one field based on the value in other fields

> modify the options in a choice list based on a user's role

> display messages based on a value in a field

Client Script will execute in four ways


On Load: Runs when a form is loaded

On Change: Runs when a particular filed changes value

On Submit: Runs when a form is submitted

On CellEdit: Runs when a cell on a list changes value
