<h3>What is it?</h3>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
&nbsp;<span class="guideheader">A</span>t the end of a submission, we have to tell webSubmit what to do
with the data it has gathered. This is expressed through one or several lists of functions (we call this the
"end script").
</BLOCKQUOTE>
<h3>How to get there?</h3>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
&nbsp;<span class="guideheader">F</span>rom the main page of the manager, click on the title of the relevant
document type.<br>Then click on the icon in the "Edit Functions" column of the relevant line.
</BLOCKQUOTE>
<h3>List of functions</h3>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
&nbsp;<span class="guideheader">H</span>ere is what you may see then (this is the end script list of functions
for a document type named "TEST" and action "FTT" - Fulltext Transfer):<br><br>
<IMG src="<WEBURL>/img/sbm_admin_guide_listfunctions.png" class="guideimg"><br><br>
&nbsp;<span class="guideheader">Y</span>ou can see the ordered list of all the functions in the end script.
This end script is composed of 2 steps (see the "step" column). The functions composing the first step are called,
then there should be action from the user which would trigger step 2 - in the present case the
<a href="functiondescription.<lang:star: *>.html#Upload_Files">Upload_Files</a> function (last of step 1) allows
the user to upload additional files by creating a web form, then when the user finishes, he presses another
button created by the function, which ends the process. Functions of step 2 are then called.<br><br>
&nbsp;<span class="guideheader">W</span>hy implement multiple steps? The reason can vary with the task
you want to accomplish. For example with the example above (Fulltext Transfer), we use the first step to allow
the upload of multiple additional files (dynamic action) which could not be done in the
<a href="implementwebform.<lang:star: *>.html">static web form</a>. In the case of the
"Modify Bibliographic Information" action, the first step is used to display the fields the user wants to modify,
prefilled with the existing values. The reason is once again that the task we want to realise is dynamic.<br><br>
&nbsp;<span class="guideheader">T</span>he "score" column is used to order the functions. The function
which has the smallest score will be called first, and the largest score will be called last.<br><br>
&nbsp;<span class="guideheader">Y</span>ou can then:
<ul>
<li> View and edit the parameters of each function by clicking on the name of the function.
<li> Move one function up and down, by using the small blue arrows.
<li> Suppress one function by clicking on the relevant red cross.
<li> Add a function to the list by clicking the "ADD FUNCTION" button.
<li> Go back to the document main page ("FINISHED" button).
</ul>
&nbsp;<span class="guideheader">P</span>lease note: To pass one function from one step to another,
you have to delete it then add it again in the proper step.
</UL>
