Hi,

you can use script actions to create server-side scripts that perform a variety of tasks,

such as modifying a configuration item (CI), or managing failed login attempts. Script actions are triggered by events only.

Script actionsScript actions are server-side JavaScript code that is executed when an event it is listening to is triggered on the specified table. Just like any other server-side scriptscript actions have access to all the server-side glide APIs,script includes, and other server-side resources.
