The Message Manager
The Message Manager window displays messages associated with a project’s development, such as error messages about the design’s setup or informational messages about the progress of an analysis.
Messages are organized by project, then by circuit design. Because a design can contain multiple top-level and subcircuits, and multiple analyses can be set up for each, this organization helps you determine where errors have occurred.
The Message Manager window can be moved and sized as needed. It can also be docked to any edge of the Twin Builder desktop. Message text wraps within the window. A vertical scrollbar displays as needed allowing you to move through the list message-by-message.

Note |
If a message is too large to fit in the window, you cannot click the scrollbar to page-up or page-down. To view such messages in their entirety, you can resize the window or right-click the message and select Details to show message details. |

Messages in the Message Manager window are organized with global messages first, then by project, then by circuit. Because a design can contain multiple circuits and subcircuits, sometimes with multiple analyses for each, this organization helps you to quickly determine where errors have occurred. Messages are stamped with the date and time (hh:mm:ss) they were generated. The following icons appear next to a message to indicate information, warnings, errors, or actions:
|
|
An informative message. |
|
|
A warning message that may require your attention. |
|
|
An error message that may require your attention. |
|
An action associated with the message. Click the message to invoke the action (the cursor will change to a hand icon when it is placed over the action message). |
