Prompts
Prompts appear in the field directly underneath the Alert Status Indicator
and can be either temporary or permanent.
Permanent prompts
Permanent prompts denote a state or mode of operation, provide
instruction to the operator, or may display settings.
Permanent prompts are displayed on a normal system colour background;
if more than one permanent prompt is active the prompts are shown in
rotation until the condition creating the prompt no longer exists.

field appears below the permanent prompt field with the prompt message.
