The way Rekall functions can be extended in one of two ways, either by scripting or by the use of macros. The former provides the most functionality, but can be quite complicated and needs a knowledge of the python programming language. Macros, however, can be used to automate common sequences of operations in a simpler, pick-and-choose way.
A macro is a series of one or more actions. Each action is identified by a name and has a number of arguments which are specific to the named action. For instances there is an OpenForm action (which, as the name suggests, opens a form), which takes a single argument, the name of the form.
Macros can be stored in two ways. Firstly, a macro can be stored in an event, such as the OnClick event which is triggered when a user clicks a button. This is the easiest way, with the only disadvantage being that the macro cannot be accessed from anywhere else. The second alternative is to store the macro in a separate module, and to then invoke the macro module when it is needed (which might, of course, be from a button's OnClick event).
