Messages
The Messages page gives you control over the verbiage presented to the installing user during the install of the
application. The section text that you can edit is as follows:
•
Welcome
: After successfully importing and installing an application definition, the installation
wizard prompts the user to install supporting objects for the application. This message
introduces the application and describes the actions of the installation scripts.
•
License
: If the use of this application requires the user to accept a license, enter the license text
here. The user is prompted to accept the message before installing supporting objects. If there
is no text for the license, this step is skipped in the install wizard.
