Hi,
Im planning to develop a custom Widget to use with MMS001 and I need to get a selected item number for this Widget. Can I read Context Messages from a Widget?
I can use AppDesigner or Widget SDK

It can be done, just need to get creative. For example in the video I attached below. I have a mongoose table that holds M3 data (this could also be a M3 item list you would just have to build that data service and widget out). So this mongoose widget will filter based on item number based on the IBC message that is received from M3:

Hi Prabodha - yes you can utilize OS App Designer to read inforBusinessContext messages. I actually built out a demo already where I created a widget in app designer that would be stationed in the smart panel on the right. This widget was listening for any inforBusinessContext messages being sent, and would filter based on the customer selected in M3. Everytime the customer was switched in M3, the widget would update in the smart panel. Is this what you were looking for?
Yes, something similar, When a user selects item number, it should populate in the text box field in the Widget.if you have a sample would it be possible to share?
So I don't believe you can just display a context message on a widget. Context messages are message that are meant to be in the background. You can use them to filter data. For example, if you had a widget with a list of items it can filter that list based off the context message and only display the value of the item that you selected in M3.
Noted, My objective is to get some value from the Context message and display it in the Widget. In this case item Number.it seems this is not possible.
