Hello ARSList,

I have workflow related question.

I am currently working on a system that includes the following - 

ARS 5.12
Helpdesk 4.03

The first form that is loaded upon login is a helpdesk console, this is a 
display only form and has several buttons to create, search and view existing 
tickets.

If the New Ticket button is selected - another display only form is opened. 
After the person enters the require information, workflow pushes the fields to 
the hpd:helpdesk form to create a ticket.

After looking through the existing workflow for the button New Ticket, I have 
found a active link with the If Action executing a Run Macro. This macro opens 
the above stated display only form in submit mode and sets a couple of fields 
with hard coded defaults.

Now here's the question(s) - Why... 

Why would one use a Run Macro to open a display only form to submit a ticket to 
another  form?

Is there a advantage / benefit to using a Run Macro?

Why not just perform a Open Window, if action?

Thanks,

Kevin P.
