You now have to select which action you want to perform. It can be one of the following:

• Remove a Message
• Assign a Message
• Unassign a Message
• Schedule when a Message is displayed

Add a new Message

To define a new message, select the "Add a new Message" action and click on the Next button. This action allows a user to define a new message template on the S2J Signs server. This does nothing on the actual FDR - it just sets a message on the server that users can then select to assign to a FDR sign.

Give the message a meaningful name, a unique tag - and then use the editor to define the message and how it will appear on the FDR message area.

Click on the Next button. Now select which devices (or all) you want the messages to be displayed on:

Once you have selected all the target devices, click on the Next button. The message will now be shown on the screen, and you will be asked to confirm activation:

Update an existing Message

This action allows you to update an existing message.

Click on Next and then select the message you would like to modify:

Click on the Next button. The next screen will allow you to modify the existing message, in a similar way to adding a new message:

If you select the option Replace existing messages instead of appending the message to be rotated with other messages then the message would not replace the FDR rating message, but the sign would alternate between the FDR rating message and this message. Once you have selected the devices to assign the message to click on the Next button:
