Searching through the user manual today, I came across this:

[https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC79/Timer+Scripts+-+Deprecated](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC79/Timer+Scripts+-+Deprecated)

Just to be clear, are timer scripts deprecated, or just this manual page? There’s no other mention of deprecation that I could find.

Probably just the manual page. Current page is [here](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC79/Client+and+Gateway+Event+Scripts#ClientandGatewayEventScripts-TimerScripts)

I’ve noticed that there is a large number of other topics that are deprecated as well. Searching for ‘Deprecated’ give 5 pages of results!  
E.g.  
Navigation Functions - Deprecated  
Shutdown Scripts - Deprecated  
Scripting Basics - Deprecated  
… etc.

What does this mean?

PS. I’m looking at the latest doc on the inductive auto server ([https://docs.inductiveautomation.com](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com))

That page _in the manual_ has been replaced. Poor usage of the word "deprecated".

Search for that title without the “deprecated”.

Ah, of course 🙂 It looks like they’re rewriting sections and re-organising/renaming sections as well
