04:20 | Agenda today: Macros when migrating to FOLIO | Tara hasn't found many other ressources, they are linked above. |
05:30 | Kathy (Douglas College) presenting slides | What I want, is to automate (repetitive) actions in FOLIO. What we need:

15:27 | Showing Sierra | Setting for macros; each indiv account can have their own. They are just text-string replacements. There are keyboard shortcuts in FOLIO, but you can't tweak them - can they be expanded on and edited in the future? Also, expanding macros to more than just text-string replacements would be good. |
19:08 | Pedro (Cornell) presents Macro Express (version 3) with loads of examples |
|
28:58 | Switch windows open on the computer, e.g. move from FOLIO to OCLC. | |
30:18 | Mouse locator, to input the coordinates, where you are in the screen. Pitfall if FOLIO is updated and the screen changes + if the screensize is different. So we try not to use coordinate-macros, but convert them into e.g. tabbing down (example: grab the call number at the bottom of the instance record). Another issue with different releases: example in Quickmark: Buttons moving from right to left side. | |
37:33 | Macro to delete a marc field I don't actually need | Hotkey (activated by Ctrl or Shift) vs. Shortkey (can be whatever we choose) + you need to slow the macro down sometimes. |
40:08 | Other common macros they use |

47:34 | Questions to Pedro |
