# Dise Methods Library

The Dise library provides access to methods to interface with Dise via a script. Dise methods can be called from HTML, Python, JScript and VBScript.

Use a different prefix depending on what type of script is being used:

**HTML (Markup)** - Use the prefix 'Dise.'

**Python, JScript, VBScript** - Use the prefix 'DISEScript.'

## Log

Log a message to the system log and CX Portal.

```markup
Dise.log("log level", "message")
```

```python
DISEScript.log("log level", "message")
```

Log level can be one of the following:

- debug (default)
- info
- notice
- warning
- error
- critical
- alert
- emergency

```markup
Dise.sleep(int)
```

```python
DISEScript.sleep(int)
```

---

## Get Variable

Return the value of a specified variable.

```markup
Dise.getVariable("scope", "name")
```

```python
DISEScript.getVariable("scope", "name")
```

Scope can be one of the following:

- global - Access global variables, used mainly in background scripts.
- local - Access local variables from a template. Can only be used in load scripts.
