Run

run (verb)Sent to an application when it is double-clicked. Within Helix, used to invoke a sequence. (from Required Suite)

Description

The run command is a required command that is used by macOS to launch programs. Helix also uses this command to run a sequence, which is passed in as a direct parameter.

The run command can be used in Design Mode and in User Mode. Unlike most of the Helix Design Suite, it does not require that you login before running a sequence in User Mode, and unlike accessing data from a view through the Helix Data Suite, run does not require that the sequence be present on the User Mode menus. You can, therefore, run any sequence from any user.
