The message action step type displays a message screen on the Agentry Client. This screen can contain a defined title, message text, and either an OK or an OK and Cancel button. When a Cancel button is clicked in a message screen the parent action of the step is canceled. No subsequent steps within the action will be executed.
This step type can provide the user with the ability to cancel an action based on some decision. This step type is commonly used within actions that will delete an object instance on the client. A message step with two buttons can be defined to confirm the delete of the object prior to executing the transaction step that will delete it.
When a message step is displayed with only a single button, the user will not be able to cancel the action within the message displayed. Rather, the single button is displayed for the user to confirm they have read the message. Once clicked, the action will continue execution with its next defined action step.
