Messages and Functional Groups

Consumer Messages & Functional Groups

The pages for displaying lists of consumer messages and functional groups are structured in the same way, using similar Vue.js components. For information on the properties of the consumer messages and functional groups, refer back to the earlier documentation regarding the Policy Table.

Cards

Each functional group or consumer message card will have identifying information displayed on a card. This information includes the name, and the number of permissions or languages. If the information in the card has been altered since the time of creation then it will have a "MODIFIED" tag. All cards are listed in alphabetical order by name.

Editing

It should be noted that the cards under "Production" cannot be edited. If you wish to edit an existing functional group that has been set to "Production" then you must edit the staging version of that group. Remember to hit the save button at the bottom of the page to keep any changes.

Staging

This environment is where temporary or unfinished entries reside. They can be edited and reworked.

Production

Production entries are not directly editable and may only be created/edited/deleted by promoting them from the staging entries. Only promote staging entries to production if you are certain that all information associated is correct.
