Add an Alteryx Macro in (.yxmc file), into my Alteryx workflow (.yxmd file)

Hi, 

 

I'm fairly new to Alteryx Designer and a colleague of mine has shared their Alteryx Macro with me to use in my workflow. The Macro is a .yxmc file and I don't know how to insert it into my workflow, which is a .yxmd file. I've seen Macros appear in other workflows and they sometimes have their own icon, but I don't know how to insert it! I've saved the macro locally on my machine.

 

Many thanks,

KA

Hi @arundaka02 if you right click on the canvas should see these options. Then you can browse to where you saved the macro locally.

Hi @arundaka02,

 

make a right-click on the canvas and select "Insert" and "Macro" (very bottom). This will open a file browser where you can select the macro.
