The default class and name for a script are determined when the script
begins executing:

ƒ

A script started from another script defaults to the class and name of
the calling script and, where applicable, uses parameters to override
the defaults.

ƒ

The class and name of a scheduled script are set by its definition in
the Event Manager.

ƒ

The class and name of an immediately executed script are set by the
user in the script execution window.

ƒ

A reserved script’s class and name are special, and are set by the
system.

In a script executing on a lower-level class, when a higher-level icon class
is specified without the icon name, the icon affected is the icon in the
specified class that is an ascendant of the script’s class.

Note: Any class below ROOM is considered as a lower-level class.

In a script executing on a higher-level class, when a lower-level icon class
is specified without the icon name, all icons in the specified class are
affected.

Note: Software programs or tasks are not represented by icons. A

program or task is configured from the “SoftwareTask List”
or “TaskMan”, which can be displayed by double-clicking on
the associated OS icon.
