Selecting Component Macros

<sidebar>Sidebar: What Is a Macro?</sidebar> Add a component onto the Dashboard Panel or System Panel.

Drag a Component Macro onto the flowchart.

Open the Component Macro Icon Properties by double-clicking on the icon or right-clicking the icon and selecting properties, or select ‘Properties’ from the ‘Edit’ menu (Edit > Properties...) when the icon is selected.

Once the properties box is being displayed you can look through the list for the desired macro.

Note that Component Macros are displayed in a list which shows macros for the available components present on the Dashboard and System Panels.

Once the macro has been selected you may need to enter the parameters and/or return values (depending on the macro) to achieve the desired functionality. Variables can be used with Component Macros to extend the efficiency and functionality.
