Is it possible to run a project starting from some tab other than main?
In the batch file world where program1.bat calls program2.bat and program3.bat, sometimes I only want to run program2.bat and can do that by simplying runing only that batch file.
But it seems like if I use action lists in lieu of separate batch files, I lose this flexibility?
Ah, I figured it out. The run button at the top is meant to run from Main. I see the the other run options now, including “Run from current action”.
Hi Katie,
Your correct with the “Run from current action” being able to run from any point in your script. Typically though I suggest the use of the “enhanced prompt for variables” action to make choices on what to run in the project. If there is a choice on which batch file to run, or action list to run the “enhanced prompt for variables” could be shown and have a variable set which allows the choice of which batch file/action list to run. Its something we use internally quite a bit.
We use it to know if we want certain testing performed, certain builds made, help recompiled, or projects deployed. Also as these are set in variables they can also be set when running from the command line (FBCMD) by passing the variable values on the command line (the method of doing this is listed in the help).
