Use this dialog to select a number of macros, define the number of times to create each macro, and define the numeration of each created macro. Creating a number macros results in batch creation of loops and instruments. In addition, this dialog displays the status of the macros created, rejected, canceled, and already existing.

The macro batch creation table lists the following:

Select

Indicates whether a macro is selected for batch creation.

Macro name

The macro name.

Macro description

The macro description.

Numbers

The numbers of the created macros. The number is added to the Loop and Instrument tags in the appropriate part of your naming convention. Insert a range (for example, 101-200) to create multiple macros (in this example 100 macros). Inserting a string of letters results in creating a single macro.

  • In a KKS domain, use only numbers.
