 When creating a new macro, select the category and click New Macro. On the Description tab, give the macro a name, and a brief description if you'd like. Next, go to the Trigger tab and choose if you would like this macro to run automatically, run on the server in the background, what the triggering event will be, and what the change type and events will be for this macro. You can also choose to run the macro manually or on a schedule, and select which criteria to use, whether it is the current Order (or Estimate, or Company, or whatever category you have selected), a SQL Query, or a saved query. You can also check the box to allow the macro to appear in the menu so that it can be used for an individual item (see below, Macros Added to Individual Toolbars). The Actions tab works the same way as before. When creating a new macro, select the category and click New Macro. On the Description tab, give the macro a name, and a brief description if you'd like.
