Information panel is used for displaying different types of messages. Some can be created upon a system error or they can be a result of some system or content business logic execution. These are so called predicted and predefined messages that can also be localized. The third type of message is some sort of instruction for a specific task or a user interface.
The number of individual type of messages can also be seen on the status bar in MX-Client. Numbers are displayed beside the icon representing the type of the message. If mouse hovers over the icon, a short description of the situation is displayed to the user.
Different types of messages are grouped in three sections; Tasks, Warning and Errors.
| Message Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Tasks | Contains text usually displayed to the user upon starting a user interface. Text can contain short description of user interface’s functionality or it can contain short instructions on how to work with the user interface. |
| Warnings | Contains text of a predicted and captured mistake or error. These are texts displayed when execution condition fails, when field constraint is not evaluated successfully, etc. All this type of strings can be localized. |
| Errors | Contains text generated during the execution of some kind of business logic. This text cannot be predicted. Some of the text can be localized using localization of system strings. |
Two commands are available in information panel which can be used to delete received messages.
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
| Delete one (minus) | Deletes the selected message in the current section. |
| Delete all (cross) | Deletes all messages in the currently selected section. |
