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 control point 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. If you want to create the macro, but not assign it to a specific
key for use, you can store it under Unassigned.
NOTE: Unassigned is selected by pressing from the keypad key.

Steps
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. A macro may contain up to
32 steps.
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
