Modifying Messages in Subscribe-HR Software

The Subscribe-HR Platform is fairly flexible and allows Users to created customised messages in the System. You may have come across these messages when creating and saving new records or simply by modifying data.

Subscribe-HR currently has 3x types of Message Types, these are:

  • Application Error Messages.
  • Application Warning Messages.
  • Application Info Messages.

It is important to know that not all messages will appear exactly the same in the Messages list as they do when the error occurs.
You may notice that some messages contain %s in them. This is simply a variable string that makes the message dynamic, allowing it to be reused.
Example: The image above displays the error message Date cannot be empty. When searching for this message the actual message is %s cannot be empty.

Searching for and Modifying a Message

  1. Messages can be viewed/accessed via General menu (left-hand side of the System/screen) > Development > Messages.
  2. Select the Messages Folder.
  3. Use the search to help locate the message you wish to modify.
  4. Select the message you wish to modify.
  5. Modify the Message content field. Be careful, if a message has the variable string '%s,' it is ideal to leave the string in the error message. If the string '%s' is removed it may result in what would seem as incomplete messages.
  6. Select the [Save] button.

Creating New Messages

  1. Messages can be viewed/accessed via General menu (left-hand side of the System/screen) > Development > Messages.
  2. Select the Messages Folder.
  3. Select the [Add new record] button.
  4. Enter the Message content.
  5. Select the Message type.
  6. Specify an App in the Belongs to App field if this message is to be added to one of your Apps.
  7. Select the [Save] button.
