5. What is the difference between record level script and form level script ?

A client script can be deployed in one of two ways: at the record level, or at the form level.

6. When you deploy a client script at the record level, you deploy it globally on one or more record types. The script runs on all forms associated with the record type. By contrast, with a form-level deployment, you attach the script to a custom form associated with a record type, and the script runs only when that form is used.

For example, you could use record-level deployment to configure a client script to run on the employee record type. With this approach, the script run whenever the employee record is used, regardless of which form is being used. With record-level deployment, it is also possible to limit the script by configuring it to be available only to certain audiences. With this approach, the script runs only when the form is used by people in certain roles, groups, or other classifications, as configured on the Audience subtab of the script deployment record. However, with record deployment, you cannot limit the script to only one form. The script behaves the same way on all forms associated with the record type.

By contrast, you could attach the client script to only one custom entry form for the employee record type. If a user then opened an employee record using the standard entry form, the script would not run. You can attach a client script to any custom entry form, custom transaction form, or custom address form. However, you cannot limit the audience for a form-level script.

Note that only client scripts can be deployed at the form level. All other entry point scripts can be deployed at the record level only.

7. What are the event types in a client script ?

    pageInit

    saveRecord

    validateField

    fieldChanged

    postSourcing

    lineInit

    validateLine

    recalc

    validateInsert

    validateDelete

8. What's the Difference Between xedit and edit User Event Types?

When the user event type argument is set to xedit, it means that the execution context for the script is inline edit or mass update. In other words, if a user has inline edited a field on a record (or if the record has been part of a mass update), the user event script will execute. In contrast, user event scripts set to execute when the type argument is set to edit will execute when the record is edited in all other contexts. The script will not execute based on an inline edit or mass update.

9. How Many User Events Can I Have on One Record?

There is no limit to the number of user event scripts you can execute on a particular record type. For example, you could have 10 beforeLoad, 9 beforeSubmit, and 15 afterSubmit executing functions on a Customer record. However, assigning this many executable functions to one record type is highly discouraged, as this could negatively affect user experience with that record type. In other words, if you have 10 beforeLoad scripts that must complete their execution before a record loads into the browser for the user, this may significantly increase the time it takes for the record to load. As a consequence, the user's experience working with the record will be negatively affected.

10. What are the event types in a User event script ?

      Before Load

      Before Submit

      After Submit
