To create local messages:

    FactoryTalk View Studio
    , in the
    Explorer
     window, double-click the

     folder to open it, if necessary, and then double-click the
    Local Messages
     icon.
  2. In the
    Local Messages
     editor, enter a trigger value and its message.

    When you right-click in a row, a context help that contains editing commands, opens.
  3. Repeat this for as many triggers as are required.
    TIP:
    To sort messages, highlight the rows to sort, right-click in any row, and then select
