Layout execution order

In general, graphic scripts run before layout scripts run. This is to ensure that any references within the layout script will exist when a layout script calls the reference. The exception to this rule is a layout On Hide script, which, when triggered by the layout closing, will run before any graphic scripts that are still waiting to execute. Layout scripts thus have the following precedence with regards to graphic scripts:

• The On Hide layout script has precedence over graphic scripts.

• Graphic scripts have precedence over the On Show layout script.

• Named layout scripts can run in any order (not necessarily in the listed order), and may be interspersed with graphic scripts.

Any named script that is triggered by the Data Change trigger type runs the first time when the reference is subscribed to. This behavior is different than the Data Change trigger behavior of Application Server scripts and can take considerable time in intermittent networks.
