Predefined Log Messages can be created which can then be used when required to acknowledge
or clear an event without needing to type text.
Messages are identifiable by their labels which are assigned when they are created.
Labels and message fields are mandatory for every message created. Labels can be up to 100
characters in length and messages up to 3000.
The language for each message can also be assigned, this means when a user logs a message,
