The Activant Import Macro

What is the import macro?

The Import Macro is what gives you the ability to send price changes that you create in Margin Master back to your Eagle System. 

Note:  While Macros are available in the Eagle for Windows system, Network Access has proven to be more reliable so we recommend that you use Network Access.

• Creating the Import Macro
• If not still open from above, run Eagle Browser and Network Access.  Login as required.
• Using the Windows Menus at the top of the screen, Select Options/Keys/Programmable Keys (as shown in picture on the right)
• Select an available Programmable Key from the dropdown list.  An available key will have nothing defined in the Macro Definition Box.  Ctrl F1 is selected in the picture on the lower right.
• Enter a Description in the Description field.
• In the Data Field Name, enter C:\MARGINMASTER\NEWRETAILS.TXT

For the next part, make sure to follow the exact instructions.  The Macro Definition is created by pressing the assigned Activant keys, not by typing the text that is shown.

• With your cursor blinking inside the Macro Definition field, from the Windows menu, Click Insert/Data File Column.
• Enter 1
• Press OK
• Press [Enter]
• Click Insert/Data File Column.
• Enter 2
• Press OK
• Press [F4] to create the <Add>
• Press [F12] to create the <Clear>
• Click OK to Save and Return to the Network Access FUNCTION MENU.
