# How to Add Scripts

To use scripts for [creating Custom Issues](/v1/docs/custom-issues) or [adding custom remediation actions to built-in issues](/v1/docs/adding-custom-remediations-to-built-in-issues), you must add scripts using the ControlUp for Desktops script builder.

1. In **Devices**, go to **Configuration > Settings > Web Console** and enable **Compliance Scripts**. ![Enable Compliance scripts option in web console settings](https://cdn.document360.io/098100b7-b9da-4bea-b4b9-017140ab863e/Images/Documentation/EnableComplianceScripts.png)
2. Go to the [Scripts tab](/v1/docs/scripting-guide) and click **Add Script**.
3. From the **Product** dropdown, select **Compliance**. Note that the Product dropdown is available only if you enabled Compliance Scripts in step 1. ![Selecting Compliance from product dropdown.](https://cdn.document360.io/098100b7-b9da-4bea-b4b9-017140ab863e/Images/Documentation/SelectComplianceFromDropdown(1).png)
4. Fill out all the script details and click **Create Script**.

After you create the script, you can select the script when configuring [Custom Issues](/v1/docs/custom-issues) or [adding custom remediations to built-in issues](/v1/docs/adding-custom-remediations-to-built-in-issues).
