Sending Messages to the Message Center

The Message Center is a centralized message board that displays messages when specific events occur such as when business objects are created or modified, status changes, etc. Messages are specific to the user that has logged in.

Since messages are based on specific events, review the list of events to determine the notifications that you want to receive.
