the most recent message in the Status bar.

You will open the Message panel by clicking the V sign on the

right of the Message bar.

The Message panel is minimised back to the Message field when

you click outside the panel or click the V sign again.

The messages include the following information:

• the date and time when the message was generated

• the message itself

The messages are highlighted in a different colour depending on

the type of message:
