2.6.1 Add a new Message
Used to set up a new Message
Note: All messages are relegated with a unique internal key in order that they can be tracked and Dismissed appropriately according to the Repeat configurations and the person logged into the Planner or Admin Console.
Therefore messages cannot be reset and re-used, as the previous settings will apply at the User level. It is also the reason Messages can currently not be deleted.
Therefore you will need to Add a new Message for each new circumstance.
