Attach a Note to a Message
Select a message from the message list. Select Tools and Edit Note.
Then a Message X Note window appears. The X is the message
number for the message that a note is being created for. These
message notes can only be viewed with the InView messaging
software and are not downloaded to the display.
Text Color
There are three color options if a display is classified as color. They
are red, green, or yellow. The color of the message is the color that is
selected. The color of individual text within the message is changed
by inserting a color before the text. The text after the color insert stays
that color until a new color insert is performed.
Date, Time and Variables
The date, time and variables are also inserted into a message. These
are found under the Edit menu then Insert or via the toolbar buttons.
If inserting the date, a pop-up window appears and shows various
formats and a pre-viewer that displays the data for the selected format.
If inserting a variable, a pop-up window appears that allows the
selection of the variable number and whether the variable is numeric
or alpha numeric. The maximum number of variables per message file
is 100 (00 to 99). The numeric variable ranges from 32,767 to -32,768
decimal. It also allows the selection of the type of padding and a
check box for a sign (+/-). An alpha numeric variable is ASCII text
except for the “. It also varies in length from 1 to 128 characters. There
is a pre-viewer that displays the options selected. The format for the
time is either standard or military. The selection for this is found in the
