A Script library allows you to create reusable scripts to run across different server side capabilities of the platform including:

- [Inbound Messaging](docId\:D4gocVxvfJwbgvdIhgo1s) 
- [Record Generation](docId\:MnV_4TefiY9HLCTj4AV7v) 
- [System Controllers](docId\:KRCIsVL2mOXebJiydZ_oh) 

A Script library also helps to abstract complexities that would otherwise be exposed onto the respective platform capabilities mentioned above.

# Calling a Script library

If we are to call a function (called IncidentUtil.getIncidentOpenTasks) on the sample Script Library above on a Trigger for the Incident table, it will look like the following:

```javascript
// ... anything we want to do before calling the script library

let subTaskArr = IncidentUtil.getIncidentOpenTasks(current); // current is an Incident's Table record

// do what we want with subTaskArr
```
