What's New

(2025-06-17)

It is no longer necessary to have a ReportMagic Connection to use this macro.

Parameter	Type	Presence	Purpose	Options	Default
properties	List<String>	Mandatory	The property or properties to insert.	AdditionalMetricDimension1Value AdditionalMetricDimension2Value AdditionalMetricDimension3Value All AllAsJObject AllAsJson Dimension1 Dimension2 Dimension3 Name PeriodDurationSeconds PeriodStartUtc System Value	N/A
auto	Boolean	Optional	If 'true', the reporting period will be the last calendar month and neither startDate nor endDate parameters may be used.	true false	false
calculate	String	Optional	Post processing formula. Use {value} for the macro output, e.g. {value}/1024.	N/A	N/A
colorTableCell	Boolean	Optional	Whether to color table cells if thresholds are breached, rather than color the text.	true false	true
comment	String	Optional	Add a comment to make your document template more readable. The comment is discarded in the output document.	N/A	N/A
endDate	DateTimeOffset	Optional	The end date in the format YYYY-MM-DD.	N/A	Midnight on the first day of this month
errorOnOverflow	Boolean	Optional	Should NCalc expression evaluation throw error on Overflow	true false	true
failureText	String	Optional	The text to display should the macro fail to execute. Note that a poorly-specified macro (e.g. omitting mandatory parameters) will still result in an error message.	N/A	N/A
fontBackgroundColor	Color	Optional	The font background color to use.	A named color or an HTML-encoded color .Note that 'transparent' is a valid color that you can use in any macro parameter that expects a color.	N/A
fontBold	Boolean	Optional	Change the font weight (true=strong, false=normal). If omitted, no change is made.	true false	N/A
fontColor	Color	Optional	The font color to use.	A named color or an HTML-encoded color .Note that 'transparent' is a valid color that you can use in any macro parameter that expects a color.	N/A
fontSize	Double	Optional	Change the font size in points. If omitted, no change is made.	From 2 to 200	N/A
granularity	GranularityType	Optional	The time granularity.	Daily Hourly Monthly	Daily
hidden	Boolean	Optional	Whether to hide the macro output.	true false	false
if	String	Optional	The condition that must be true in order for the macro to be executed/evaluated. Must either evaluate to true or false, for example: "3+5=8" or "contains('abcd', 'z').	N/A	true
integrationId	Int32	Optional	The AlertMagic Integration ID. Leave empty to obtain metrics for all Integrations.	N/A	N/A
mode	MacroMode	Optional	The mode in which variables are stored. In the legacy mode (default for Schedules), the variable created is a string and formatted. In the normal mode (default for Report Studio), the output variable is stored as a strongly-typed object, e.g. an Int32 or a List etc., rather than a formatted string.	Legacy Normal	Legacy
monthsToReport	Int32	Optional	If set, sets 'endDate' to the 'start' plus the specified number of months.	N/A	N/A
obfuscation	ObfuscationType	Optional	Obfuscation type. Use obfuscation to write reports where sensitive data is hidden. When used, ReportMagic guarantees that the same input string will map to the same output string for the whole of the report (but the next time the report runs, it will most likely map to a different value). If you use obfuscation, the property in your macro will not show up and instead, you will see a fake item of the obfuscation type chosen.	None UkTown DeviceName Company IpAddress PrivateIpAddress	None
redact	Boolean	Optional	Whether substituted variables are hidden from macro results (and the word 'REDACTED' will appear in progress screens and elsewhere in the web UI).	true false	false
singleValueList Normal mode	Boolean	Optional	In Normal Mode and for macros that output JArrays only, whether to convert a JArray of single-property jObjects into a flat JArray of values.	true false	false
startDate	DateTimeOffset	Optional	The start date in the format YYYY-MM-DD.	N/A	Midnight on the first day of last month
storeAs	String	Optional	The variable to store the result as.	N/A	N/A
storeAsHidden	String	Optional	The variable to store the result as, while hiding the output. Equivalent to 'storeAs=ThisValue, hidden=true'.	N/A	N/A
storeFormattedValueAs	String	Optional	The name of the STRING variable to store the result as and output (both will use the same format) into the report. Note that if you also use 'storeAsHidden' in the same macro, you should not expect the output to be hidden, as this parameter overrides that.	N/A	N/A
versionId	Int32	Optional	The AlertMagic Version ID. Leave empty to obtain metrics for all Versions.	N/A	N/A
warning	String	Optional	If specified, adds a warning message for this macro. This is processed as an NCalc, and the warning message will ALWAYS be present and will be the value of the evaluated NCalc expression.	N/A	N/A
