You can start macros manually in ARIS Architect or automatically in ARIS Architect and ARIS. To start macros automatically, you can define that a macro is started when a certain event occurs.
For example, you can specify that the Output model information report is generated whenever a model of a specific type is saved (event Model saved). Or you can specify that whenever a new object occurrence of a specific object type is placed in a model of a specific model type the object symbol is always colored blue (event Object occurrence created). You can also specify that when you save a model, a specific Semantic check is run to verify that the criteria you specified were met.
