How to Make a Macro in GoldMine
GoldMine macros let you automate the more tedious sequences of key strokes and clicks you do within GoldMine.
Here’s an easy to follow, pictorial tutorial on how to make one of these fellows.
Go into GoldMine and get ready to make a macro!
Go to the edit menu and select toolbars.
Select Record Macro from the menu that pops up.
The macro is now recording. Be sure to only use your keyboard at this point. The macro will not record mouse clicks or movements. Tip: Hold down the Alt Key and each menu option will underline one of its letter. Hitting alt + that letter will open that menu (so alt + c opens the “complete” menu). Then use your arrow keys to move around the menu.
Here I am starting my actions that I want the macro to record. My goal is to have a macro that opens up the complate an unscheduled call window. (Remember I’m only using my keyboard.)
Continuing my actions to record.
The desired window opens up, I’m done recording actions.
Hit stop on the macro bar and this prompt will come up.
Fill out the options for your macro. To use the macro later you assign it a keyboard combination here, or drag one of the buttons to your top toolbar area. (Just experiment to see where it will let you drop that button.)
Enjoy.
By the way, if you ever want to launch your macro via the command line or from another program see here.
