Redwood Experience for Messages Page

The Messages page has been moved to the Redwood toolkit, giving the page the look of Redwood, along with the backend functionality that Redwood has to offer. With this new page you can quickly view and manage error, warning, and information messages from payroll processes. 

You can access the Messages page by using the Messages tab on the Process Results Details page.

You can also use the View Messages option from the Actions menu on a task or flow on the Process Results Summary or Checklists pages. The page display messages for either a process or persons included in the process.

The process messages include message text and a number to indicate the number of times that message appears for that process.

The person messages display the details of the person, such as person name, person number, assignment number, and payroll relationship number.
