Control script steps

Control script steps control the progression of the script by letting you tell FileMaker Pro exactly what to do when and if specific conditions occur.

Configure Region Monitor Script	Configures a specified script to run when an iOS or iPadOS device enters or exits a specified region.
Else	Performs an alternate set of script steps when an If or Else If script step evaluates to false.
