Macro Control Commands
Command
Description
Disable
Disabling a macro prevents it from being executed by any operators or
stations, while still retaining the macro within the system. For example,
you might do this for macros that are not yet complete or ready to be put
into general use. You can only disable a macro if it is Idle.
Enable
Enabling a macro makes it available to be executed by all authorized
users of the system or by the management platform itself. If a macro is
disabled, you must enable it before you can execute it. Newly-created
macros are enabled by default.
Abort
Interrupts execution of the macro. You can abort a macro if it is currently
Executing. Note that a macro in execution can be aborted at any time
regardless of whether any of its instructions will be executed with an
initial delay.
Execute
Runs the macro. You can only execute a macro if it is Enabled and
Idle. When the macro finishes running, an execution successful
message displays alongside the command, and the Last Execution
properties update accordingly.
