Adding new blocks with different methods is an easy way to discover improvements to your systems.  It is easy because the ability to create a new block is simple, and  modifying a an existing blocks that is copied, given a new name gives the developer a known set of scripts that can be modified to work in a different way.  At the heart of all systems are various ideas about how a system should follow markets.

Creating a New Block:

Clicking on the Blox tab that is on the top Menu, or Right-Click the mouse on the Group Section-Name where the block will be stored.  

When the popu-up selection dialog appears, Click on the New option.  That New selection will have the new block creation dialog appear:

•This dialog shows four information text-fields that need to be filled out.  

•The Block Type area determines the show five different block types that determine which script sections will appear in the block by default.

•The "Include Default Scripts" option provides a means to add some of the more common scripts sections that user tend to use when the same block was created for them.

•When all the information is provided, and you click OK, the block will appear in the Group that was active when you created the block.

•To copy an existing block, click on the Copy menu selection and modify the details in the text fields.  When copy and renaming is complete, save the block.  

•When all the information is provided, and you click OK, the block will appear in the Group that was active when you created the block.

Adding  Block Scripts:

Adding one or more script sections to an existing blox is simple and quick.  If the block where more scripts need to be available is a new block, the "Include Default Scripts" will often add many of the scripts users tend to add, but that option might add more than you need.  

 

NOTE:

Script sections where no script statements are shown, that script section will not execute because there is nothing for those scripts to perform.  While this makes the process faster, if the empty scripts are available in other blocks in the system and those scripts sections contain script statements, those other block scripts will execute.

 

To add a script section, Right-Click the mouse click on a script section to display the script pop-up script action options.

 

 

NOTE:

The ability to Move Script section to different locations in a block can happen when the user highlights a script section and the uses the Alt-Up or Alt-Down keys to move the script section.

 

Adding a Script Section Example:

When the Add script menu item is selected, this next dialog will appear.

 

The items listed in this list of script sections will be added to a block once the new script section is highlighted.

When the script section to add is selected, the Add Script dialog closes the list of Script Sections available so the user can click on the OK button so the new script section will appear.

 

After the script section is added, it will then appear in the block where it was not available before.
