clipboard message

A message is a text clipboard value, generated by the system and associated with a property or a page. A message can convey error conditions, progress, or exceptions to a user.

Although messages appear as values on the clipboard, they are not defined through properties. A clipboard page containing messages generally can't be saved into the database, as the message typically indicates that the page (or a property on it) is invalid. The value of a property may not meet the requirements of a permanent instance of the page's class because of missing or incorrect data.

Ordinary messages are associated with a single property and value. They may indicate that the property value is not valid. Page messages are associated with an entire page.

On the Clipboard tool left panel display, messages appear in red.

When a workstation user submits an HTML form to PRPC, previous page messages corresponding to the input are cleared, and property messages are cleared for any value that changed.
