Show Message

The Show Message action displays a message to the user, with options for message type, process control, and error reporting. This is useful for providing feedback, warnings, or errors during form processing or workflow steps.

Properties and Explanation

Message Type: Select the type of message to display. Options include:

• Info

• Warning

• Error

Message: Enter the message text to show to the user. You can use plain text or dynamic content.

Stop Process From Changing State: If checked, the process will not advance to the next state after showing the message. Use this to halt workflow progression based on validation or business logic.

Show Field(s) Error Message: If checked, any error messages from form fields will also be displayed to the user, in addition to the main message.

• The action adds the message to the consolidated messages area, or shows a popup if that is not available.

• You can use this action for validation feedback, user guidance, or to block workflow steps until issues are resolved.
