Defining Message Categories

This portal is used to view and maintain a message category and its messages.

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 populate the Override Message Text. Note that even for message categories 80000 and higher, message numbers lower than 1000 are reserved for common base product messages.

You can access the portal from theAdmin Menu > System > Message. You are brought to a query portal with options for searching for a specific message category or a specific message. Once a message category has been selected you are brought to the maintenance portal to view and maintain the selected record.

The following zones may appear as part of the portal's Main tab page

  • Message Category. This zone provides information about the selected message category.
  • Messages. This zone lists and maintains messages for the selected category.
