Encrypted Scripts

In some cases, the logic inside your script may contain sensitive information — such as API keys, internal business rules, or proprietary calculations — that should not be visible to other users. Tabidoo allows you to protect such logic using Encrypted Scripts.

What Are Encrypted Scripts?

Encrypted Scripts are JavaScript-based scripts that are stored securely on the server and hidden from all users except the script author. Unlike standard client-side scripts, they do not run in the browser and cannot interact with the user interface.

These scripts are:

• Encrypted and secure — Their content is not visible to others.
• Executed on the server — They are never downloaded to the client’s browser.
• Isolated from the form UI — They cannot modify the visibility of fields or respond to field changes.

When to Use Encrypted Scripts

Use Encrypted Scripts when:

• You need to store or process confidential information.
• You want to integrate with secure third-party services using API keys.
• The script’s logic should remain private and unmodifiable by other users.
• You are executing backend operations without requiring any UI interaction.

Limitations of Encrypted Scripts

Cannot read or modify form UI (e.g. no doo.form interaction).

• Cannot display confirmation dialogs or error messages to users.
• Cannot run in On Model Load, On Model Change, or On Model Save client-side events.

These limitations make Encrypted Scripts ideal for:

• Background processes
• Server-side validations
• Secure API calls

How to Create an Encrypted Script

1. Navigate to the appropriate place where scripting is supported - Scripting extensions or Workflow action.
2. (In Workflow Automation) Add a Run Script action.
3. Enable the Encrypt script option.
4. Write your logic using the available doo objects.
