Listener events for Comala Document Management workflows

Scripting actions

Script actions are created in the app using the SIL Manager and stored in a repository in your Confluence instance.

For example, the above SIL uses the app getPage routine to set a parent page. The script action then moves a page to be a child of the Rejected page in the space PP.

Scripts can be selected by using the Choose this script in the Add New Listener dialog box to from the select a script from the SIL program repository
