iAccess Client Solutions Default Macro Location

When saving recorded macros or running previously recorded macros, have the option to change the default from Current Session to Personal Library ( C:\Users\<username>\IBM\ClientSolutions\config_directory\IBM\iAccessClient\Emulator\ ).


Use Case:

Currently by default if you save a macro, it is gone with the closing of the session. Being able to change the default to the proposed "secondary" location would allow the user to be able to recall saved macros and not have to recreate each time.

    The macro location and last macro used is already being saved as part of the configuration for that emulation session. If you do not have a saved configuration for the emulation session, then the macro information cannot be saved. When you exit the emulation session, if there is not already a saved configuration, you should be prompted to save it. If this is not the behavior you are experiencing, then please open a PMR and work with our Service team.
