Message Definitions

The Message Definitions Library is where you set up the messages that you would like returned for user-defined Error/Warning conditions or the Permitted Combinations under the Event Definitions.

Name is the description by which this library entry will be known. This can include any characters and spaces.

Message Type has two radio buttons that indicate whether the message is a Warning or an Error.

Warning, when selected, indicates that the calculation can continue processing and the message should display when the calculation completes.

Error (stop processing), when selected, indicates that the calculation should stop processing and the message should display.

Message is the text that you would like returned. Any characters are allowed including spaces. You may also embed a Data Dictionary field reference within the message.  In order to reference a field value, include text using the format: #fld_FIELDNAME# in the message.  For example, type #fld_DOB# to include the value of the data dictionary field "DOB". When the message is processed during the calculation, ProAdmin will replace the special text reference with the value of that field. Multiple fields can be referenced within one message.  If an array field is referenced, the most recent value of that field will be displayed in the message.

The Code for output (optional) text box allows you to enter an optional code to be returned with the message in the XML Output.
