Messages

Messages have different purposes, such as showing a custom message on the login screen, adding a custom button with text to the navigation or showing a text before downloading files.

Working With Messages

Messages are a great way to add individual text to the application. Typical use cases are:

  • add terms & conditions to the login process

  • add a help to the header and/or the main navigation

  • add individual text to the login and/or registration page

  • show a copyright text when users are downloading files

  • show a welcome/overview text after login instead of the records

Messages are always assigned to groups which enables you to define different messages for different groups.

Messages

To create a new message, click on the plus button in the lower left and enter the details (see below). By clicking on a message, you can see and edit the details. To remove a message, click on the desired message and on the minus button in the lower left.

All messages are sorted alphabetically and you can use the filter to search for the message title and the message itself.
