In the left pane, expand Projects or Baselines and browse for the directory containing the file. In the right pane select the file. Click OK. The file is added to the Edit Transition Rule Template dialog box. Note: If you are using a work area, the file is pushed to the build area. If you are using a deployment area, Dimensions Build assumes that the script has already been deployed to that area.

Same as build configuration global script When you use a transition that has this script type the target is built using the main script defined for the parent build configuration. However, you can specify build options for the transition that are different to those defined in the main script. Therefore the build options that are used are those defined in the transition and not the main script.
