Searching for macros

The system provides a report where you can find all occurrences of macro expressions:

1. Open the System application.

2. Select the Macros -> Report tab.

3. Specify the filtering options to narrow down the list of macros:

   • Object type – shows only macros stored in the data of objects of the selected type
   • Macro type – switches between Context {% ... %}, Query string {? ... ?} and Localization {$ ... $} macros
   • Report problems – if checked, the report only displays macros that contain syntax errors, have invalid security signatures, or use invalid macro methods.
   • Macro contains – searches for macros that contain the specified text in their expression

4. Click Search.

The list displays the following information for each macro:

• The text of the macro expression (if the text is a macro rule, hover over the value to view the actual macro code)
• An indicator showing whether the macro is syntactically valid
• The name of the macro's author (the user name or identity in the macro's signature) and an indicator showing whether the macro's security signature is valid
• An indicator showing whether the macro methods used within the macro expression are valid. Lists all detected problematic macro methods together with a description of the issue.
• The object type and exact field containing the macro
