Macros for devices

If you are using devices with TotalAgility, the following macros are available for retrieving information from jobs and inserting them as values.

Macro values should be passed to the MFP client as the default value for fields in the device form. This can be a initialized process variable, folder, or document fields. When a MFP client detects a field with a macro, it replaces it with the actual value.
