Defining System Messages

This portal is used to search for message categories and messages that appear throughout the system. An implementation may introduce messages used in custom processes or may choose to override the text for messages delivered by the product.

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

Refer to Understanding System Messages for more information.

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.
