Select to maintain a message
category and its messages.
Description of Page
To add a new message category, enter a Message Category number
and Description.
CAUTION:
Message category 80000 or greater must be used
to define new messages introduced for a specific implementation of
the system. Changes to other Message Text will be overwritten when
you next upgrade. If you want to make a change to a Message, drill
down on the message and specify Customer Specific Message Text. Note
that even for message categories 80000 and higher, message numbers
lower than 1000 are reserved for common base product messages.
Note:
Owner indicates if this message category
is owned by the base product or by your implementation (Customer Modification). The system
sets the owner to Customer Modification when you add a category. This information is display-only.
To update a message, you must first display its Message Category. You can optionally start the message grid at a Starting
Message Number.
To override the message text or detailed description of messages
owned by the base product, click on the message's go to button. When
clicked, the system takes you to the Details tab on which you can enter your implementation's override text.
The following points describe how to maintain messages owned by
your implementation:
- Click the - button to delete a message.
- Click the + button to add a new message. After clicking this button,
enter the following fields:
- Use Message Number to define the unique
identifier of the message within the category.
- Use Message Text to define a basic message.
You can use the %n notation within the message text to cause field
values to be substituted into a message. For example, the message
text The %1 non-cash deposit for %2 expires on %3 will have the values of 3 fields merged into it before it is displayed
to the user (%1 is the type of non-cash deposit, %2 is the name of
the customer, and %3 is the expiration date of the non-cash deposit).
Note: The system merges whatever values are supplied to it. Therefore,
if a programmer supplies a premise address as the second merge parameter
in the above message, this address is merged into the message (rather
than the customer's name).
-
Owner indicates if this message number
is owned by the base product or by your implementation (Customer Modification). The system
sets the owner to Customer Modification when you add a message. This information is display-only.
- Click the go to button to enter a detailed description of the
message. Clicking this button transfers you to the Details tab.
