<h1>Writing Scripts<a class="headerlink" href="#writing-scripts" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h1>
<p>In your application, you can put in automation by writing scripts. These scripts can be use for
checking value of inputs, doing calculations, fetching values from other records etc.</p>
<p>Scripts are executed on events. These events can be triggered on the server-side or client-side.</p>
<p>For more advanced function relating to scripts, please see the API and Cookbook</p>
