Error Message Maintenance

The QAD CSS Error Message Maintenance function lets administrators create, edit, and delete error messages. There are two types of error messages: JavaScript (js) and Progress (pro). The way the message is delivered (e-mail, HTML, or log) as well as the messages themselves are configurable.

Administrators can also use Error Message Maintenance to create messages that deliver additional information to the user when an event occurs. This functionality is similar to E-Mail Master Maintenance, but Error Message Maintenance is not restricted to e-mail notification only.

QAD CSS comes with over a thousand programmed events, most of which do not require user interaction. JavaScript error messages do not require event actions.

Note: JavaScript error messages are preloaded into HTML pages. When adding or modifying a JavaScript message, you must click Generate File to create the actual file.

Events can be set up through Error Message Maintenance, but activating them requires custom programming.

The menu location of Error Message Maintenance is Home Menu|Administration Menu|System Control Menu|Error Message Maintenance.

Clicking the Error Message Maintenance menu option displays the screen in Error Message Maintenance.
