248 DSView 3 Software Installer/User Guide
• Send a macro from a predefined macro group. Macro groups for Windows, Novell and Sun are
already defined.
• Create, edit and delete your own macros. When you create or edit a macro, you may type the
desired keystrokes or you may select from among several available categories of keystrokes.
Each category contains a set of keystroke combinations. Selecting from the available
categories and keystrokes saves time and eliminates the risk of typographical errors.
Since the DSView 3 software may be used to access different computer platforms, you may find it
helpful to assign distinct macro groups to Global Macros or Personal Macros on individual
systems. You may specify the macro group to display in the Macro Groups dialog box. The Macro
Groups dialog box may also be used to switch between using Global and Personal Macros at any
time during a session.
The Video Viewer window contains grouping commands that allow you to create, edit and delete
your own macro groups. A user with software administrator or user administrator privileges may
also change the predefined macro groups.
Macro group settings are device-specific; that is, they may be set differently for each device.
