4.3.8 Messages
This feature allows messages to be sent, by job action (
section 4.7
), to the display, to a specifi ed group or
to all groups. Messages can also be included in e-mails (
section 4.3.19
). The messages are of the form:
Date, Time, Message. The message can be just text (up to 80 characters), or it can include up to nine em-
bedded items which are typed into the message as {1} to {9}. The embedded values represented by {1} to
{9} are selected from picklists.
If a Group-destination message contains more characters than can be displayed on the screen (depends
on recorder model), the right-hand part of the message is invisible to the user. The message appears in
full in the message log (
section 3.1.4
) and when Review Software is used. Display-destination messages
are always fully visible.
