● Activation of EFK functions requires valid macro construction.
● All failures are logged at level 4 (minor).
● If two macros have the same name, the first one is used and the subsequent ones are ignored.
● A sequence of characters prefixed with an exclamation point (!) are parsed as a macro name. The
exception is the favorites reference, which starts with ! and contains digits only.
● A sequence of characters prefixed with a caret (^) is the action string.
● ! and ^ macro prefixes cannot be mixed in the same macro line.
● The sequence of characters must be prefixed by either ! or ^ so it is processed as an enhanced
feature key. All macro references and action strings added to the local directory contact field must
be prefixed by either ! or ^.
● Action strings used in soft key definitions do not need to be prefixed by ^. However, the ! prefix
must be used if macros or favorites are referenced.
● A sequence of macro names in the same macro is supported (for example, !m1!m2).
● A sequence of favorites references is supported (for example, !1!2).
● A sequence of macro names and favorites references is supported (for example, !m1!2!m2).
● Macro names that display in the local contact directory must follow the format !<macro name>,
where <macro name> must match an <elklist> mname entry. The maximum macro length is
100 characters.
● A sequence of macros is supported but cannot be mixed with other action types.
● Action strings that appear in the local contact directory must follow the format ^<action
string>. Action strings can reference other macros or Favorites’ indexes. Protection against
recursive macro calls exists (the enhanced feature keys fails once you reach 50 macro
substitutions).
Example Enhanced Feature Keys Configuration
The following illustration shows the default value of 24 calls per line key. Ensure that you specify at least
two calls per line key.
