iMacros EOL - Attention!

The renewal maintenance has officially ended for Progress iMacros effective November 20, 2023 and all versions of iMacros are now considered EOL (End-of-Life). The iMacros products will no longer be supported by Progress (aside from customer license issues), and these forums will also no longer be moderated from the Progress side.

Thank you again for your business and support.

Sincerely,
The Progress Team

Triggering macro to accept or reject jobs (text lines with links) when they appear

Post by luca_cremonini » Wed Apr 01, 2020 4:45 pm

VERSION BUILD=12.0.501.6698
Microsoft Windows 10
IE 11 or Firefox 74.0

Hello, I'm working in remote as a contractor for a customer who has CST, while I have Greenwich time (a little different actually, but it's not important). I would like to activate a macro able to accept or reject new jobs when they pop up on the customer's website while I'm sleeping. I've already recorded macros to accept or reject jobs when they appear. A new job displays as a simple line of text on top of the screen, then I can run a macro like:

TAG POS=1 TYPE=SPAN ATTR=ID:cphMain_gvwWorkOrderList_Label1_0
TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:SUBMIT FORM=ID:form1 ATTR=ID:cphMain_btnAccept (Firefox)

TAG POS=1 TYPE=SPAN ATTR=ID:cphMain_gvwWorkOrderList_Label1_0
TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:SUBMIT ATTR=NAME:ctl00$cphMain$btnAccept (IE)

What I need is something that triggers this only when a new job appears in the main window (accepted jobs remain there, only in a different color, like rows of a table, so they must not trigger the macro).

- (F)CI(M) = (Full) Config Info (Missing): iMacros + Browser + OS (+ all 3 Versions + 'Free'/'PE'/'Trial').
- FCI not mentioned: I don't even read the Qt...! (or only to catch Spam!)
