2.3 How to create a Field-Map script

How to create a Field-Map script

Creating a Field-Map script consists of three basic steps:

1. Writing the definition of a script

Use a built-in text editor to write the sequence of commands which describe what the script should do. There are several places where you can enter a script according to the kind of script you are creating. For more information on where to write or import Field-Map scripts in Field-Map Project Manager and Data Collector, see the corresponding chapter.

2. Compiling

By running a compilation process, you will make Field-Map check whether the script is written correctly and prepare it for execution.

3. Executing

If the script is successfully compiled, it can be executed either in Field-Map Project Manager as a part of the Data processing tolls or in Field-Map Data Collector. The execution is triggered by the user or automatically by an event in Data Collector.
