Types of Messages
Informational Messages
- They do not require a reply.
- Example, in user profile we can have a setting so that when some report we created finishes printing, we get a message that it got done Ok.
- This can be helpful when teams of people are creating reports and printing each other's ... we now know that some step got done by our co-workers.
- Example, one user plans to run some major update run, but gives co-workers the opportunity to alter planned schedule.
- If there are no objections, I plan to run a shop order purge tomorrow night.
