<sidebar>Sidebar: What Is a Macro?</sidebar> Select a Component Macro and bring up the icon properties, there will then be a list of all available component macros from the components currently being displayed on the Dashboard Panel and System Panel.

Some Component Macros require parameters and return values, these may also be used with variables and constants, which allows you to engineer a program to enable you to interact with components and for components to work together.

Component Macros are displayed in a list organised in groups of each component and its functions/macros.
