Message View

The Message View feature allows a time reporter to view messages on a shop floor terminal by swiping a badge and pressing the Messages button on the terminal. The time reporter can view any active messages (messages that have not yet expired) until the messages expire.

Supported Terminals:

• InTeract Client

• InTouch

• B-Net 9580

• B-Net 9540

• Windows Mobile based devices (5.0 or later)

In order for a time reporter to view any active messages, you must add the Message View event to the Menu Tree of the applicable Terminal Profile.

The Message View event is available in the TERMINAL_DEFAULT Menu Tree. It allows the Messages button to display on a terminal. If the Message View event has been removed, however, you must add it to the Menu Tree of the applicable Terminal Profile.
