=== Data Directories ===

You should always know where your data is stored, especially when you create a testbed. Before you start using the software for serious purposes, you should learn how to deal with [[PlanoTse Handbook for Job Search Automation/Domains & Directories|data domains and data directories]] in PlanoTse.

=== How to Create a PlanoTseScript Testbed ===

The first step in setting up your testbed is to create a script holder. You can do this via menu or via PlanoTseScript. Almost any menu command in PlanoTse can be carried out as a command in PlanoTseScript. Take either of the following course of action:


<table width="100%" >
<tr>
<td width="50%" valign=top align=center>
{{robox|theme=3|width=80%|title=Alternative Method 1. Use the Menu}}
# Select the menu command '''[File &raquo; New &raquo; Others &raquo; Script]'''.
# Enter the script title: 'My First Testbed', or use any other testbed name
{{Robox/Close}}
</td>
<td width="50%" valign=top align=center>
{{robox|theme=3|width=80%|title=Alternative Method 2. Use PlanoTseScript}}
# Select the menu command '''[View &raquo; Code & Run]'''.
# Enter the string that includes your choice of testbed name: { new script ''My First Testbed''; }
# Press the button '''[Run PlanoTseScript]'''.
{{Robox/Close}}
</td>
</tr>
</table>

=== How to Insert Some Code in the Testbed ===
Do the following steps to insert some code in the testbed:
# Open the script holder for use as part of a testbed.
# Press the '''Steps''' button.
# Enter the code in the input box of the Steps window: { say Hello from my testbed!; }
# Press the button '''[Save & Close]'''.
# Press the '''Run''' button and see the result.

=== How to Access Your Testbed Script from Anywhere ===
Do the following steps to turn the Go menu into a way to access your testbed script:
# Remember the number of the script holder you created for use as part of your testbed.
# Select the menu command '''[Automation &raquo; Go Script &raquo; Edit the Go script]'''.
# Press the key [Ctrl+A] then press the key [Del] to delete existing content in the Go script file.
# Type in the code, ''{ edit script 99999; }'', where 99999 is the actual number of your scrip holder.
# Close the Notepad and save the Go script.
# From the main menu, click on 'Go' and see that you can open your testbed script at any time regardless of where you might be in the application.
