Version 2.4

The message center displays messages produced by the system.

The envelope icon () on the right side of the command line changes color to indicate new messages in the message center.
The icon is displayed in the color of the new message with the highest priority.

A number underneath the envelope icon indicates the number of new messages, excluding information messages.

The categories for messages are:

• System
• Command Line
• Power
• MA-Net
• USB
• Chat

USB and chat messages are specific to the device. They are not displayed on other devices in the session.

Messages have different priorities.

• Information (green): Information about internal system processes that generally don't require user activity or input.
• Warning (yellow): Information that is important and should be taken care of.
• Error (brown): Information on invalid actions and malfunctions in the software.
• Alert (red): Information on critical events. Messages in the alert category generally require immediate action.

When a new message is received, the background of the cell flashes in the color of the priority.

Notifications for Messages

Messages in the message center can be displayed as notifications in the software.

To select whether you want notifications displayed, toggle Notifications in the title bar of the message center.
Notifications are enabled by default. 

A bell icon () and corresponding notification type is displayed in the upper left corner of each cell in the main view of the message center.
The color of the icon changes depending on the type of notification.
The three options are:

• None: No notification is displayed. (Gray icon)
• Notification: A notification is displayed in the upper right corner of all big screens. (White icon)

  • Tap OK to close the pop-up but still display the message as new in the message center.
  • Tap Confirm Message to close the pop-up and mark the message as read in the message center.

To select the type of notification for a category, tap the bell icon to toggle through the options or swipe the icon to display a drop-down list with all three options. 
The notification type for the Information category is always set to None and cannot be changed.

The background color of notifications matches the color of the priority. Additionally, an icon is displayed in the notification, indicating the priority.
