RMD View

RMD is an acronym for Rapid Macro Development. The RMD View as activated from the Startup/Shutdown macro section when a startup or shutdown macro is desired. These macros are automatically activated when specific events occur in the program.

To create or modify an RMD macro, first select an event type from the Startup/Shutdown Procedures section, then click the Modify button. A clear icon in front of the event type indicates that an RMD macro does not yet exist for this event. A solid green icon indicates an active RMD macro. RMD macros can be inactivated by clearing the checkbox (the icon changes color).

Close: Closes the startup/shutdown procedures section.

A typical RMD view follows:

RMD macros consist of a series of modular operations or actions. A large choice of available actions is listed in the Actions window. The Macro window lists the actions that have already been selected.

To add an action, select it, optionally select where in the Macro list it should follow, then click on the Add>> button. Some RMD actions require additional information. If so, an RMD Prompt dialog will appear. When adding a custom macro, the Macro Editor View will appear so you can create the macro. To modify one of the actions in the Macro list, select it and then click Modify (the same RMD Prompt or Macro Editor View will appear). To delete one or more actions, first select them, then click Delete. To reorder an action (actions are listed in the order they are run), either select it and use the arrow buttons, or select and hold the mouse button down to drag and drop the action to its new position. To disable an action, uncheck the box left of the action name.

Cancel: Closes the RMD macro discarding all changes (can not be undone).

OK: Closes the RMD macro keeping all changes.
