How do I cancel a Project Script File? You can cancel a Project Script File, on entering Datamine Studio, by selecting File | Project Script File from the menu then Select New.  Now, direct Studio to the script that you wish to use, or select Restore Default (see Additional Information). An alternative way to cancel the Project Script File is to point it back to the original file that is shipped with Datamine Studio. This can be found in : 
...\DmStudio.140\Scripts\Common\DefaultScript.htm.
The Restore Default option will automatically direct Datamine Studio to use this file.
How do I run scripts over a network? Running scripts over a network is straightforward. First, change the security level of the HTML scripts. Datamine scripts need a different security level in order to be accessed over a network. Use Internet Explorer and select Tools | Internet Options. You are, however, strongly advised to read "more about running scripts over a network" and any additional Internet Explorer help information for Security Zones before doing this.  More about running scripts over a network.
How do I set a toggle switch to ON or OFF in a script? Use the CL Commands
command("cl-set-toggle", "string-display-switch ", "ON")

or

command("cl-set-toggle", "string-display-switch ", "OFF")

If you know you want to set a specific toggle switch to On you can use the command CL: cl-set-toggle:

command("cl-set-toggle", "string-display-switch ", "ON") 

If you know you want to set a specific toggle switch to Off you can use the command CL: cl-set-toggle:

command("cl-set-toggle", "string-display-switch ", "OFF") 

Note: This does, however, mean that you will be unable to restore it to the previous state as you do not know what that state was.  There is currently no way of querying a toggle.
