Addendum to:
You as an administrator can "Copy to New", update the 'User' field [and create an entry] for every user that needs to use the search.

Great question, Lisa.
 
Here's my lame quick answer:  Sort of.
 
You can set it up for multiple users, but not in the traditional way.  Anytime a search is saved by an individual user, a record is created/updated in the AR System Searches Preference form. You as an administrator can "Copy to New" and update the 'User' field for every user that needs to use the search.  Remember that the 'User' field is the Submitter field on this form.
 
I'm not sure if we put in an enhancement request or not, but we think it would be really cool to make a search available for a group.
 
For other types of searches, if the need is great enough, I would just add a link or a button and make it available to everyone.

That sounds cool.  If one person were to create a parameterized search on the Mid-Tier, would others be able to use it too?

I obviously can't be sure, but my guess would be that most of the macros that your users probably create are related to searching.  If that is the case the Mid-Tier 7.0 has added functionality to Save, Load, and Run, defined, user-created, and most recent searches.  You can even create and save parameterized searches on the Mid-Tier. (LOVE THAT)
 
One can also save to CSV.  That is the worth the move in my opinion.
 
Other neat features allow your end users to remove/add columns to the results list and save their sort. 
 
We are currently using Mid-Tier 7.0 Patch 1 against an ARS 6.3 server.  There are some quirky errors that happen from time-to time.  In this case the added value to our user community has out-weighed the quirky errors that I've seen.
 
Hope that helps,
Michelle

We mostly just have normal macros that customers create.  I hear that Mid-Tier does not have a macro tool yet.  (Even in 7.0)

** Lisa,

The last word I heard (but it was only a word) is that there will be user tools around for the forseeable future. We also have gotten one for 7...
I guess most macros can be easily replaced by workflow or perhaps by small apps. Can you describe how your organisation currently uses macros?

Kind regards,

Michiel

Word on the street is that Remedy's User tool is eventually going to going to go away sometime in the future and only Mid-Tier will be used.  Has anyone heard how Macro's are going to be created and used then?
