Release/Unrelease SmartScripts in batch

In the most recent release on the project I’m currently working on, the customer wanted to work with SmartScripts. Very soon we had over 40 SmartScripts.

The problem with SmartScripts however is that they all need to be released whenever they are created. And since the customer is working with 3 different languages, this means a lot of manual labour.

Therefore, I’ve come up with a simple but clever solution. I’ve added to extra buttons on the top applet called Unrelease All and Release All.

To (un)release all SmartScripts at once, the user simply has to query in the bottom applet for the correct language and click on the Unrelease All or Release all button. The script behind the buttons then performs the action for all SmartScripts for the specified language.

In the customer’s case, you have to perform this action 3 times (for languages ENU, NLD and FRA) in stead of around 100 times for each SmartScript individually.
