Create a macro

In the
Macros
editor, assign values to tags. The values can be in the form of other tags, expressions, or simple numeric values. At runtime, when the macro runs, the values are sent to the tags at the data source.

TIP:
When renaming macro files, make sure you update any references to that macro file, for example, in the
Runtime Security
,
Display Settings
, or
Startup
editor.
The
Delete Row(s)
 menu item on the
Edit
menu does not delete multiple selected rows in certain spreadsheet editors. If you select multiple rows in the
Information Messages
,
Local Messages
,
Macros
,
and Alarm Setup (Messages tab)
 editors, and then select
Delete Row(s)
 from the
Edit
menu, only one row will be deleted.
To delete multiple rows, right-click in the editor and select
Delete Row(s)
.
