Macros
Macros combine multiple commands so a complete action can be triggered from one control.
One trigger, multiple commands
Keep repeated actions together.
A macro is a named and ordered collection of commands. Instead of adding the same group of commands to several items, you define the sequence once and start the macro wherever it is needed.
Macros belong to a scene. Only macros from the active scene are available when you configure a Macro command. This keeps each workflow and its actions independent.
Combine actionsCollect commands for different interfaces in one reusable sequence.
Use from itemsStart a macro from a button or another item action that supports commands.
Keep scene contextStore the macro with the interfaces and panels used by its workflow.
Example
Prepare a production with one button.
1

Send a command to select the required production scene.
2
Set audio states
Send commands to prepare the required mixer channels.
3
Update equipment
Control another connected device through its interface.
4
Trigger the macro
Run the complete sequence from a single panel item.
Managing macros
Adapt actions as your workflow changes.
Give macros clear names and use an existing macro as the basis for a variation.
Temporarily prevent a macro from being used without deleting its configuration.
