Standard Macro Interface Designer

I have created my first standard macro. The macro does not require any user input.

 

By default the Interface Designer displays the text: Macro Output - No Interface. 

 

Could I customize this text with additional information about the macro?

@catmar - I would suggest adding detail using annotation on the macro tool and/or a comment box if more detail is required. See example screen shot below. 

 

There is also space within the Meta Info tab in the Workflow - Configuration window to add a description of the relevant workflow/macro (second screen shot)

This could be a good alternative. I tried it without success. Would you see anything wrong in the settings?

That label is more of an fyi about the macro output tool. You can add a label in the interface designer though and it will show in that screen as well as in the workflow you add the macro to.

Add a label and you can customize the text you want shown there.

Thank you! This is exactly what I was looking for. I struggled to find the label configuration window to alter any text.
