Here is a description of the fields and buttons that make up a message.

Message Detail

Field	Description
Unique Identifier	The unique ID used by the products to correlate messages that relate to the same record.
Created By	The name of the user that created the message, and the date and time the message was created.
Deletable	Indicates whether the message can be deleted.
Message Body	Displays the information contained in the message. Foundations sends message bodies that are larger than 128 kilobytes as an attachment to the message. When this occurs, the Message body field is empty and the attachment is listed in the Notes and Attachments related list on the Message Detail page of a message.
Message ID	Auto-generated number. A unique message identifier.
Message Type	The message type that this message belongs to, such as Document Sequencing.
Publisher	The Foundations publication publishing the information about changes to records on the publishing organization.
Status	The status of a message can be: New – The message has been queued for batch delivery. Void – The message has no recipients. Allocated – The message has been routed but not delivered. Delivering – Batch delivery is in progress. Complete – The message has been successfully delivered to all recipients. Errors – At least one delivery failed.
Time to Live	A value that limits the number of resulting messages when sending messages between registered products. The value is initially set from Message Delivery Max Loop Count in the FDN Background Processing Settings custom setting. Each resulting message reduces the value by one until it reaches zero. Once this occurs, resulting messages automatically fail. See Message Delivery Max Loop Count. Notes: If a value is not set for Message Delivery Max Loop Count in the FDN Background Processing Settings custom setting, a default value of 10 is used. If Message Delivery Max Loop Count is zero, messages are not sent.
