Message Types
The Message Types are used to inform subscribers about cancellations and different types of delays. The messages may be set up to relate to the user by how long a route is delayed, or if the route is cancelled outright. A default list of messages will be loaded with BusPlanner Web, but users can customize this list as needed. Message types need both a description and a severity level to function properly. Types specified on this page will appear in the Message dropdown on the Message Manager page.
The Message Type Translations are, by default, the English and French translation of the Message Types on the BusPlanner Web site. One language is the default language – normally English – which is called the “auto” translation. All Message Types need an English, French, and auto translation to be valid. The auto translation will appear as the site’s default translation, unless the user’s computer is set specifically to English or French. To add more languages and translations to BusPlanner Web, see the Translations section of the manual.
