What’s in this guide

The primary method for customizing TeamWork to meet your requirements, besides vault configuration described in the BlueCielo TeamWork Configuration Guide, is to use Visual Basic Scripting Edition (VBScript). VBScript is a subset of the Visual Basic programming language that is built into TeamWork and many other applications. VBScript provides programmatic access to many TeamWork event procedures, functions, and objects such as vaults, folders, documents, properties, and so on, so that you can automate simple tasks. The TeamWork objects that are accessible by VBScript are described in Understanding the TeamWork object model.

VBScript is used by TeamWork in two ways:

• Configuration expressions as described in Understanding configuration expressions
• TeamWork event procedures as described in Understanding TeamWork event procedures

This reference describes how to use VBScript with TeamWork. For general information about the VBScript language, see the VBScript Language Reference web site.

Note    VBScript is not as complete a programming language as Visual Basic for Applications, which is built into Microsoft Office and other applications such as AutoCAD.

When these modules are installed on the TeamWork application server, they provide additional event procedures and objects that are not described in this guide. For more information on the VBScript features of the optional modules, see the module’s documentation.
