Entries for a macro
Macro name
A macro is a set of actions that are grouped together and stored under a single name.
The name of the macro should identify the general action, and must be unique.
Key
The key is the physical key on the keypad of the handset or desk console to which you
want to assign the macro, thus making the key a hot key. There are three function keys
that are only available on the desk console. A macro can be invoked by either a short
or a long key press of the hot key.

Steps
The steps are the individual actions that you put together to make up the complete
action of the macro. For example, you may want to add a macro named ‘Message
Bob’, where Bob is one of your contacts. The steps of this macro are: go to Contacts,
go to Bob, select the call item that sends a Message call to Bob, then send the call.
A step consists of an activity, the location of the activity or the factory macro for the
activity, and the delay before the activity is started.
The activity of the macro step can be:
• to show a screen
• to select a peripheral
• to perform an action
• to view or edit a setting
