We converted our PFIs to IPA.  We are looking for where the List Message information went.  From the screens, I do not see it.  When I look at the LPD files, it looks like it is there.  I am not sure it is converted.  If it was not converted, my best guess is that it should be on the Display > Desktop tab.

What do you mean by "List Message" information?

Ah, I see. "List Message" is a field on the "Work" tab of a "User Action" node in PFI.
It doesn't look like there is an exact equivalent in IPA. Our organization has never used the "List Message" field so I'm afraid I can't help much.

I think this is what you are referring to, and yes it is still in IPA.

It looks like the message might be what I am talking about.  Where do you put that in IPD?

what do you mean when you say "Where do you put that in IPD?"...are you asking which business class work unit messages are in now?? If so, it's PfiMessage...otherwise i'm not sure what you're asking.

Terry's screenshot shows the message in the inbox.  My questions is:  Where do you put the message list in IPD?

Notice the List Message in IPD:

I can see the Work Title in IPD:

I was wondering if it is under Display > Desktop under Display Type:

We converted our PFIs to IPA, and the List Message seems to be in the lpd file.  I do not see any place where this went over.  I was guessing that we have to put it as Content, HTML Contest, or some other Display Type.  I posted this question because it is not obvious where the IPA equivalent is from either the differences class or the 5 day class.  My guess is based on the Custom Inbox Appendix in the 5 day class and the User Inaction Nodes in the Infor Process Designer Help.

I understand now. I never used that option in PFI, so i wouldn't be any help either.

We put in a case and found out there is no equivalent. Their suggestion is to use the Work Title which we already use.
