The Global Status Change Macros window provides the administrator with the opportunity to define macros that are available to all users. A status change macro provides you with the ability to set a status, return date/time, and memo all with just a few mouse clicks. When the macro is created, it can be executed on any user by selecting the status change macro controls on the control panel, right clicking on the status table, from the Action menu, or by right clicking the system tray icon. To manage the global status change macros, click on "Global Status Change Macros" under the "Admin Controls" menu. There is no limit to how many global macros can be created. These global macros will be available to all users. Just double click a macro in the table to edit it or select Add New Macro from the toolbar to add a new macro. To delete a macro, select the macro and click on the delete button in the menu or toolbar.

Although duplicate names are allowed, it will make it harder to distinguish between the macros when they are listed throughout the program. |
