Use the Macros editor to create macros.
For details about using the Macros editor, see Help.
When to use macros
You can assign macros to run when:
 The application starts or shuts down.
 A graphic display opens or closes.
 A user logs in or out. Macros can be assigned to individual users and to groups of
users.
 A specified tag or expression changes to a new non-zero value (using global
connections).
 An operator presses a Macro button.
At run time, when the macro runs, the values are sent to the tags at the data source.
At run time, the tag assignments are executed asynchronously. That is, the system does not wait
for the completion of one tag assignment before executing the next. Therefore, do not rely on the
order of assignments to control your process.
