# Script Window

{% hint style="success" %} <mark style="color:green;">Pre-requisite</mark>: *The users require basic scripting knowledge to use the **Component Variable** and **Script** option for creating interactive governed dashboards using the Designer module.*
{% endhint %}

The scripting mechanism makes the creation of complex dashboards easy and quick. The users get an icon to access the scripting window on the Designer Canvas page.

* Navigate to the Dashboard canvas.
* Click the ***Component Variable and Script*** icon.    &#x20;

* The user gets redirected to the scripting window displaying the ***Components*** and ***Connections*** tabs to open the related panel for the each option. The ***Components*** tab opens by default.
