Recording Macro Usage On Template Instantiation

Recording Macro Usage On Template Instantiation

Building Catalogs or Library’s for templates is great but unless you know who, when, how, and where those templates are being used its hard to calculate return on investment. The method I like to use is to create a REST API end point either on AWS or AZURE and then on instantiation call the end point and pass some information about that usage. For example in this case were passing:

  • Macro Name
  • Macro Revision
  • User Name
  • Computer Name
  • Part Number
  • Part Revision
  • Collaborative Space
  • Description
  • Comments

The Macro Name and Revision are argument strings being passed into the Action, which is then called on instantiation. Obviously you can pass what ever information you want.
