Script Components are predefined scripts written for Script Tasks. All Script Components are found in the component tab in the left panel of the modeller.

Note: The maximum number of script components you can have on one task is 35. It is recommended to not use more than 10 script components on one task. 

Scripts with reading and writing purpose 

All data needed in the script have to be available for the Script Task. Data in Process Automation is either managed in variables or in Data Objects. Variables is always available globally in each instance, therefore you do not need to prepare anything if only variables are handled in the script. If you are using data or fields in Data Objects on the other hand you will need to enable them for the Script Task. If the script will catch data from a Data Object it needs to be put as an input to the task and if the script will write to a Data Object it needs to be put as an output to the task. Read more about input/outputs in the article Add forms to your process.

Note: A Script Task can only ever have one data output. If you wish to affect multiple Data Objects, you need to add more Script Tasks.
