3. To configure a Script component, specify the script logic to generate dynamic content in the template.  
   Script components allow you to include calculated or dynamically generated content in your PowerPoint template. Use scripts when the built-in Field, Table, or Text component types do not meet your requirements.

   Example: To display a formatted project health status:

       (function() {
                         var gr = new GlideRecord('pm_project');
                         gr.get(current.getValue('sys_id'));
                         var health = gr.getValue('health');
                         if (health == 'green') return 'On Track';
                         else if (health == 'yellow') return 'At Risk';
                         else return 'Off Track';
                         })()

   Note:  
   Verify the available scripting API and context variables with your ServiceNow administrator. Script components execute server-side and have access to the current record context.
4. Select Update.
