General tab

The General tab allows you to modify the following properties:

Name

Name of the macro screen.

Screen capture

If a screen capture is associated with the macro screen, then a preview is shown in the screen capture area. If no screen capture is associated with the macro screen, then a message is displayed in the screen capture area.

You can use the Browse button to select a new screen capture and the Clear button to remove the association to a screen capture. For more information, see Associating a macro screen with a screen capture.

Entry screen

Specifies a screen on which the macro can begin.

Exit

Specifies a screen on which the macro can end.

Transient screen

Specifies an unpredictable screen that may appear at anytime.

Set Recognition Limit

Specifies the number of times that the macro runtime recognizes the macro screen. When the macro runtime recognizes the macro screen by the specified times, the macro runtime does not process the actions of this macro screen, but instead performs the specified action.

By default the Set Recognition limit check box is cleared and the input field is disabled. If you select the check box, then the macro editor sets the default value of the Screens Before Error input field to 100. You can set the value to a larger or smaller quantity. For more information, see Recognition limit.

Set Pause Time

Specifies the time between actions for a particular macro screen.
