How to Add Text to Self Service Pages (in NG)#

We are now using Messaging rather than static files, as it gives a more dynamic capability (and translatable for different groups of employees).

Steps to add embedded Messages in a form are as follows:

1. IMMS - create a new message
   • Allows multiple lines and HTML.
   • Best practice recommendation: name the Message ‘xxxxx_HEADER’ (i.e. WEBOEE-HEADER) – allows easy search on client-created messages. Clients may also wish use a naming convention with their customer code embedded – this is not necessary assuming that clients properly label the message as “User Defined”.
2. IMWC - create a new Where clause
   • Table (Data Source) = P2K_AM_MESSAGES
   • Where Clause Condition will be setup as Type = Ad Hoc, Column Name = MESSAGE_CODE, Operator = EQUALS, Value = xxxxx-HEADER (message name from step 1)
3. IMFDH – add the Message to the function
   • Table Usages tab: add a new table usage for P2K_AM_MESSAGES (Data Source)
     • Table Alias = MMSH (or something unique for this message).
     • Use the where clause created in step 2.
     • Toggle on x Retrieve Allowed (save the change).
   • Form Layout tab: add a new row (Form Group = something unique, ie: HEADER INFO) to the form layout in the required position/block
     • Parent Group = FORM
     • Layout type = TEXT
     • Decoration = Lined Border, if you want (save)
   • In the new Form Group: add a display only field of MMSH.MESSAGE_TEXT (use the alias you created instead of MMSH if different)
     • Display width = SS-Widest
     • Height must be > 1
     • If you don't add a label, the system will display "Text".
     • High Line recommends "Instructions" or "Note".
