Changing Macro Templates

Change macro templates.

If you change a macro with a prefilled map, the map is deleted.

To work in a macro template, select the item (text, label, or field) to change, remove, or insert before. A selected item is shaded green.

Use the buttons at the bottom of the template box to make changes.
Use the insert functions on the right to add text, labels, and fields.

When you save changes to a macro template, it is sent over-the-air to every vehicle. Its version number changes and the ID of the user who made the last change appears in the macro list.

Each task to change a macro template is described below:

Update text or labels

Click the text or label to select it. Update the text that appears in the Insert/Update a Label box, then click <<.

Require fields

Click the field to select it, then click Required Field. The field turns red to show it is required.

To remove required status, select the field, then click Required Field again.

Delete items

Click the item to select it, then click Remove Item. To remove an entire line, remove each item individually. The line below automatically moves up to fill in the space.

Insert new lines

To insert a new line:

Above the current line, click the first item in the line
Between items on a line, click the first item to move down to the next line
At the end of the template, click after the last item on the last line

Then click Insert New Line.

Insert a new field and label

Select the field or text you want the new items to be inserted before. Select the field to insert from the Insert a Field list and click <<. Items after the inserted field move to the next line if they no longer fit.

To add a label for the new field, select the newly added field. Type the label in the Insert/Update a Label box and click <<. The new label is inserted before the field.

Save changes

Continue adding labels and fields until the macro template is complete, then click Save.
