Campaign Macro
A macro specific to a campaign file. These macros are available to players and the GM, and are displayed in the Campaign Macros window.
Global Macro
Macros that are available regardless of the campaign file currently loaded in MapTool, and regardless of whether the instance of MapTool is a server or a client. Global macros are only available to the running instance.
Trusted Macro
A macro run from a Library token or run by the GM, that cannot be edited by a player.
Macro Button
The visual representation of a Macro, usually referred to explicitly for good reason.
Macro
A series of text instructions used to automate processes in MapTool.


Roll Option
One of several "switches" that alter how the macro code following the switch is executed


String Property List
A string containing key-value pairs in the format "key1=value1; key2=value2; key3=value3;..."
String List

Halo
A colored border that appears around a token on the map.
Campaign
A zipped XML file with the .cmpgn file extension containing tokens, maps, token macros, campaign macros, and token properties
Map
An image file displayed in the map display area in MapTool. This image is shared among all connected players and the GM.
Property
Generic term for a variable contained in a token; a more explicit term is token property
Bar
One, two, or multi-image graphical elements displayed on a token used to indicate the status of a consumable resource such as Hit Points
