Summary
Objectives of Tutorial 10

The objectives of this tutorial are to introduce Message Associations and Script Functions. Use Message Associations in your application to set the desired message text and details. Script Functions can reference this information to send messages when invoked.

The tasks you complete in this tutorial are:

•
Create Message Associations with sample message text and details.
•
Create Script Functions that send messages by referencing the Message Associations.
•
Create Label views that call the Script Functions in the their flow.
•
Test messages by placing the Label views on a dashboard and invoking them from there.

Creating Message Associations

In this we will create two message associations: Warning Association and Error Association. These associations will have the Warning and Error severity levels, and the related message text and details.

To create Message Associations:
1
Start by creating a new Message Association.
a
On the navigation panel, under Dashboards, choose Configuration > Definitions.
b
In the Module List Pane, select the module or sub-module in which you want to store the components you create while using this tutorial.
c
In the Module Contents pane, click Views and select Associations from the list that appears.
d
Click .
e
In the Add Association dialog box that appears, select Message and click OK.
A New Association tab appears in the Definition/Edit pane with the General tab open.
f
Specify the name for this association. In the Name box, type Warning Association.

Specify the severity level of the Message Association.
a
Open the Configuration tab.
b
In the row containing the Level property, in the Value column, click Edit . Select Data from the list that appears.
c
In the Edit - Name dialog box that appears, in the Name box, navigate to Dashboard Development > Support > Common > Message Levels > Warning.

Follow Step 1 through Step 5 to create another Message Association with the following definitions:
•
Name: Error Association
•
Context Input: None
•
Level: Data (Message Level: Error)
•
Text: "Error" for locale "en"
•
Details: "This is an error message" for locale "en"

The Message Associations are created. The next step of the tutorial is to create a Script Function that takes these Message Associations as input, and send messages when invoked.
