Message Function

If you choose the Message type, you will see the option to choose a message to display to the user.

Field

Description

Message

The message you would like to display to the user. Can be up to 254 chars.

TIP: YOU WILL BE ABLE TO USE DYNAMIC VALUES USING THE $[$<ITEM>.<COLUMN>.<TYPE>] FOR DYNAMIC VALUES FROM ITEMS AND $[<TABLE>.<FIELD>.<TYPE>] FOR DATA SOURCES (AS DESCRIBED IN THE VALIDATION CONFIGURATION)

TIP: YOU CAN MAKE THE MESSAGE COME FROM AN SQL-SENTENCE IF YOU START IT WITH SQL:<SQL-STATEMENT>

Sample: SQL:SELECT Notes FROM OCRD WHERE CardCode = $[$4.0.0] will show you a message with the result of the SQL.

Message type

Here you can choose how the message should be presented to the user:

Type	Screenshot	Description
Message box		A normal message box on screen with a OK-button
Status bar Success		Message is displayed in the lower left corner (In green)
Status bar Warning		Message is displayed in the lower left corner (In blue)
Status bar Error		Message is displayed in the lower left corner (In red)
Question		Display the message as a question with a “Yes” and a “No” button. If the no button is pressed, the add-on will block event regardless of what the block event checkbox is set to (See below for more)

Block Event

Here you can decide if the message should block the event that caused it - resulting in SAP, canceling what it is doing (Only messages shown in a Before Action Events can be blocked).

Sample: If you have created a B1 Validation Configuration for a field, then when you are about to leave the field, check for a specific value, and if this is not present, the system should display a message.
