Define
User-Defined Message Types
In this step you can change the
message type that the system proposes for certain messages. This
enables you to control how such messages are handled by the system.
For some messages there are no restrictions on
how you can define the message type. Other messages require a minimum message
type.
Example
There is no minimum message type for message CK
037 ("Lot size taken from costing view").
- If you set the message type to blank, the
message will not be displayed in the log.
- If you set the message type to
I, the message will be displayed in the log. The cost estimate,
however, will still receive the status "Costed".
- If you set the message type to
E (Error), the cost estimate will receive the status "Error" when the
message is issued. You will then not be able to be mark and release the cost
estimate.
Message CK 065 ("Activity type in CO area
cannot be charged") requires the minimum message type I
(Information).
- If the message type is I, the
message will be displayed in the log. The cost estimate, however, will still
receive the status "Costed" and can be marked and released.
- If you set the message type to
E (Error), the cost estimate will receive the status "Error" when the
message is issued. You will then not be able to be mark or release the cost
estimate.
- For this message you cannot set the message
type to blank.

estimates).

message type with the possible entries
function.
