Macro Scope

 

By default, macro triggers start macro in any application (window).  However, it is also possible to make macro triggers to work only in defined windows.  When such a defined window is active then user can use macro trigger to start the macro.  If other window is active the trigger simply doesn't take any affect and macro is not started.  This feature can be used to:

1.For different applications, create different macros that use the same trigger.  (From the user's point of view, the macros, for example,  will do the same thing but macro for each application will be programmed different way.)

2.Create macro that works only in specific application(s) while the trigger doesn't take effect in other applications.

The scope options are:

•In the macro group settings
If this option is selected then it is deducted from scope set in macro group if the trigger works in currently active window or not.
