My settings Macro

VDD — Sun, 16 Sep 2018 18:54:54 GMT

Please point me to documentation on how to setup and use a macro under Home / my settings : Macros at the SAS Communities?

I understand SAS Macros, but I am not sure how to create and use the Macros we have in the community.

Are these macros used so that one can auto fill text information that is reusable say as a response and such?

thank you.

You can create your macros in My Settings. then when you're responding to a users you'll see macros in top right corner of your window.

You can select that macro and the text will be autofilled to your response. It just adds the text like a form letter. It does not automatically submit like the Needs Details buttons.

I believe (though not certain) this platform is built on the Lithium platform so you could search around on the Lithium platforms for Macro functionality.

Just to be clear, this has no relation to a SAS macro. Macro is a generic term to define: a single instruction that expands automatically into a set of instructions to perform a particular task. (from dictionary).

Thank you @Reeza I know and understand these Macros are not like SAS macros. Your exploitation is exactly what I was looking for and alone the lines of my understanding of the usability of the communities macros under our personal settings on this platform.
