Message Summary Subform

The Message Summary subform displays a summarized count of message types for a message type configuration. The system displays the message types in the order that you specified when you set up the message type configuration. The Message Type Notification column displays icons with hover text, stating whether the message type count is less than, greater than, or equal to the threshold level defined for the message type.

This table describes the icons that the system displays for each message type count:

Message Type Count	Icon
Less than the medium message count threshold	Green circle
Greater than or equal to the medium message count threshold but less than the highest message count threshold	Yellow triangle
Greater than or equal to the highest message count threshold	Red square

For example, if you set the medium message count threshold for a message type as 100 and the highest message count threshold as 200, the system displays a green circle icon if the message count for the message type is less than 100, a yellow triangle icon if the message count is greater than or equal to 100 but less than 200, and a red square icon if the message count is greater than or equal to 200.

The system issues a lead time alert for actionable message types and displays an exclamation mark if the calculated start date for at least one message, based on the fixed lead time set up in the Item/Branch Plant Manufacturing Data, is less than the current date. The system calculates the start date by backscheduling from the requested date using working days, as defined in the Shop Floor Calendar for manufactured items, and calendar days for purchased items.

The Message Summary subform contains a Message Summary by Priority bar chart. This bar chart displays total message counts for high, medium, and low priority messages as user defined by the specified configuration. The bar colors are consistent with the message type notification icons; red for high priority, yellow for medium priority, and green for low priority. When you click a bar on the chart, the system displays the Item Summary subform with the details of the items associated with the message types.
