Best practices

1. Start with small, independent requests before chaining complex workflows.
2. Use secure credential handling and mask sensitive values in differentshared tabsevidence.
3. Document whichdependencies makeson itexternal easyservices, rate limits, and environments.
4. Review older Services Workbench pages for theconsolidation user to copy contents between different scripts.

   Control+S will automatically save the script.

   Control+O will open the file manager to open the files.

   There is IntelliSense, as you type in the default methods and functions would be available to select from the drop-down including custom-defined variables and functions.

    It is required to have Test Designer services running to work with Service Suite.

   

   Logs

   Logs can be checked once the script is running or finished running, there is a separator to drag and drop to check the logs.

   

   There is also a toggle button to switch back and forth between the script screen and the logs.
