There are two ways to create your own personal macros in Connexion - via Edit and via Record. Edit requires you to know the macro code or at least have a copy of the desired code; Record allows to 'record' the macro as you type in Connexion.
Using Edit
Open Connexion
Go to Tools → Macros → Manage
Highlight the Cataloging directory in the left hand column. If you do not have this directory, contact Systems and ask them to add it.
Click on New Macro
Enter description of macro in pop-up box (i.e., Enters 910 field)
Look for highlighted 'New Macro' in white box in left hand column. Give it a name. (i.e., 910_field). Do not use spaces.
Click on Edit. This will pop up a new window.
Enter code between Sub Main and End Sub (see R:Connexion Macros for a few we have available). The code is space-sensitive so it may take a few trials and errors to get it right.
Save.
Using Record
Open Connexion
Open a generic workform
Position your cursor where you want the macro to begin - i.e., Field number block, field text block
Go to Tools → Macros → Manage
Click on Record
Input a name for and a description of the macro
Begin typing the macro information. When done ..
Click on the red-square Stop button (upper left corner of Connexion)
Setting a Macro Key
Go back to Tools → Keymaps
Highlight your macro in the left-hand column
Select the function key/combo you want. Press key(s).
Click on Assign
Test!
