Settings: Macros

Macros

Macros allow you to extend keyboard shortcuts and create custom functionality assigned to a shortcut. They can be configured on three hierarchy levels - User Settings, Show Settings and Global Settings - which define their scope and priority.

Macro Hierarchy

Erizos Studio supports a hierarchical macro structure:

Level	Description	Priority
User Macros	Defined for the current user. Override any Show-level and Global macros with the same name. Ideal for personal workflow customization.	Highest
Show Macros	Defined within a specific show configuration. Used for show-specific actions or triggers. Overrides any Global macros with the same name.	Medium
Global Macros	Available system-wide for all users and shows. Typically used for shared operations or maintenance routines.	Lowest
