The Dialog Message form is used to create a dialogs using the messages and responses you defined on the Dialog Element form. These dialogs are used to generate dialog messages.
Dialog messages are two-way messages between the Shop Floor Time application and the user. When a user receives a dialog message, the user must respond to the message. Based on the user’s response, the message will stop appearing, continue appearing, or show a related message that also requires a response.
Note: The Dialog Element form requires that the Messaging module be licensed and enabled.
