Script action

The script action can be used to open a new tab within the manager or within the browser, and open a specific url, e.g. to an application page.

The script itself and other (action) parameters should be specified within the parameters field of the action, using xml notation.

The closetab parameter indicates whether or not the tab which is opened within the manager, should be closed immediately or not, after executing the specified script.
