The User Notifications Manager displays warnings and error messages that are turned up by Bentley SewerGEMS CONNECT validation routines. If the notification references a particular element, you can zoom straight to that element by either double-clicking the notification, or right-clicking it and selecting the Zoom To command.

Warnings are denoted by an orange icon and do not prevent the model from calculating successfully.

Errors are denoted by a red icon, and the model will not successfully calculate if errors are found.

The User Notifications Manager consists of two tabs, each with a toolbar and a tabular view containing a list of warnings and error messages.

User Notifications Tab

The toolbar consists of the following buttons:

• Details: Displays the User Notification Details dialog box, which includes information about any warning or error messages.
• Save: Saves the user notifications as a comma-delimited .csv file. You can open the .csv file in Microsoft Excel or Notepad.
• Report: Displays a User Notification Report.
• Copy: Copies the currently highlighted warning or error message to the Windows clipboard.
• Zoom To: If the warning or error message is related to a specific element in your model, click this button to center the element in question in the drawing pane.
• Select In Drawing: Allows you to select the element(s) associated with the user notification in the drawing pane.
  Note: This button is only available on the User Notifications tab.
• Help: Displays online help for the User Notification Manager.

The User Notification Manager displays warnings and error messages in a tabular view. The table includes the following columns:

• Message ID: This column displays the message ID associated with the corresponding message.
• Scenario ID: This column displays the scenario associated with the corresponding message. This column will display "Base" unless you ran a different scenario.
• Element Type: This column displays the element type associated with the corresponding message.
• Element ID: This column displays the element ID associated with the corresponding message.
• Label: If the notification is caused by a specific element, this column displays the label of the element associated with the corresponding message.
• Message: This column displays the description associated with the corresponding message.
• Time: If the user notification occurred during a specific time step, this column displays the time step. Otherwise, this column is left blank.
• Source: This column displays the validation routine that triggered the corresponding message.

User Notification Details Dialog Box

This dialog lists the elements that are referred to by a time-sensitive user notification message. In the User Notification dialog, there is a time column that displays the time-step during which time-sensitive messages occur. These messages will say "during this time-step" or "for this time-step", and do not display information about the referenced element or elements. Double-clicking one of these messages in the User Notifications dialog opens the User Notification Details dialog, which does provide information about the referenced element(s).

You can double-click messages in the User Notification Details dialog to zoom the drawing pane view to the referenced element.
