Add Messages in IPA

Many times, messages are added in PFI as the work unit is being worked. If someone rejects a request, an email will be sent out with the messages added. How are messages added in IPA?

We are still on processflow integrator so I'm not sure my response will be relevant but thought I would post it since I don't see other responses. I hope it will help.
Messages for PF are stored in the LOGAN database. I use an SQL query to get Work Flow Message Header (WFMSGHDR) and message details (WFMSGDTL). I use the workunit table WFWORKUNIT to match the details to the key string from the originating process.

You don't really need to know where IPA stores the messages entered by, for example, approvers.
After the Action node ,we always use an Assign node to capture the message entered :
String ActionMessage AN_messages[0]

where AN is the ID of your Action node

Well, that's much easier and better. I feel silly now.

I am asking how to enter a message not where the messages are stored. It is different than it is in PFI. In the inbox, the user had the options Display, Folders, Messages, and History. I guess this is supposed to be intuitive, but it is not for me. I found out a lot of the PFI features we used are removed in IPA even though the lpd file looks like it converted these features. I am guessing messages is still in IPA because there are tables for that data similar to WFMSGHDR and WFMSGDTL. Our users add messages as they work the workunits so that they have a lot of what was done manually. I know they review those messages especially for our LOA process to determine when to contact managers.

In IPA, the messages are in PFIMessage and S$PFIME. I am passing that along to those who do not know.

Angela,
From the Inbasket, you can open the work unit and you should see a Message tab. Click add and you can add a message which you can then access with IPA.

Thanks! I see it now.
