| - | ====== Creating Connexion Macros ====== | ||
| - | |||
| - | 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! | ||
