Execute Script
This is an example of an Execute Script action (highlighted in red in the diagram below). An execute script action can be used to add Rhino JavaScript code into the process. The script will have access to all inputs supplied to the action and can set data using the configured outputs. It can also raise an outcome, by returning a text string.
