2.2. Accessing Scripts

DataHub Scripting : Version 5.4

You can access DataHub scripts and scripting capabilities by pressing the Scripting button in the Properties window, to display the Scripting and Customization screen. The lower half of the screen shows the Gamma files currently configured in the DataHub:
