Mfg Dashboards Enhanced by Scripts
Scripts can enhance any Standard Time® dashboard. Just write a SQL script to query or compute values, then right-click on a grid header to insert a new column with the script. The script is run for every line in the grid, so display values from scripts are based on data in each line. Pretty nice trick!
