List of pane items

The Messages pane displays the following items in a tabular format:

S. No	Display item	Description
1	Recent message	Displays the text "New" (in red color and italics) for all the messages, which are logged after you have logged on to the Administration Console. When the Messages pane is loaded with a new set of data, then only the messages received within the last three minutes from the current time are emphasized as "New". The earlier messages, which were emphasized as "New", will not be emphasized if they are not received within the last three minutes from the current time. This column is displayed only when the Emphasize new messages check box is selected in the Message pane of the Settings tab.
2	ID	Displays the message IDs (as a link) with the prefix "KDKD". If the ID of a message is not available, then the corresponding message ID is blank. Click the message ID link to display the online manual (in an external window), which contains a reference to the selected message ID. All the new message ID(s) are in bold. When you click a message ID link and if the online manual (for that message ID) is not available, then the Help not found dialog box is displayed.
3	Text	Displays the messages (as a link) for all the message IDs with the prefix "KDKD", listed in the ID column. Click this link to display the Message Detail dialog box. The Text column displays only 150 characters. If you click a tab other than the Home tab, then the Message Detail dialog box is closed. The text(s) of the new message is in bold.
4	Occurrence Date and Time	Displays the date and time of the message(s) listed in the Text column. The display format of the occurrence date and time is yyyy/MM/dd hh:mm:ss.SSS. By default, this column is sorted in descending order. The date and time texts of the newly logged message(s) are in bold.
