Scripts & Resources¶

Scripts¶

Setup → Scripts defines server-side scripts — custom logic that runs on a schedule or interval, with its own Name, Parameters, Scheduling/Interval, and Mode. Use this for calculations or automation that go beyond what a single alarm or notification can express.

Setup → Frontend Scripts is the equivalent for custom JavaScript that runs in the browser, for view-specific behavior beyond what the built-in widgets provide.

Both are aimed at advanced/custom project logic — most gateways won't need either for a straightforward monitoring dashboard.

Resources & Fonts¶

Setup → Resources and Setup → Fonts are simple file-upload areas: Resources for images or other files a view might reference, Fonts for custom typefaces. Click Upload and pick a file — there's no further configuration.

API Keys¶

Setup → API Keys issues keys for scripts or external systems to call SCADash's own API, each with a Name, the generated key, a Description, Created/Expiration dates, and whether it's Enabled. Generate one only for a system that genuinely needs to call into SCADash programmatically, and set an expiration if the integration is temporary.
