Option Description
Flashing on Activate the check box for a new value message with single or dual-mode acknowledgment. 
The messages of this message class flash when displayed in the message window. For a 
message block to flash in Runtime, flashing must be activated in the properties of the 
respective message block.
Only for initial value Activate the check box for a first value message with single acknowledgment. Only the first 
message of this message class flashes when displayed in the message window. The 
"Flashing On" check box must be activated.
Without status "went out" Activate the check box for a message without "Went Out" status with or without acknowl‐
edgment. When this option is activated, the messages do not have "Outgoing" status. If the 
message only recognizes the "Came In" status, the message is not entered in the message 
window and it is only archived. 
Unique user If the check box is activated, the comments in the message window are assigned to the 
logged on user. The user must be registered in the "User name" system block. If no com‐
ment is entered, any user can enter the first comment. When the first comment is set, all 
other users have read-only access to this comment.
Comment If the check box is activated, the comment of the incoming message is always displayed in 
the user text blocks with the dynamic sections "@100%@", "@101%@", "@102%@", 
and"@103%@". The display then depends on the status of the message in the message 
list.
