The Message we shall be configuring for our Resolve Scenario is:

1. ResolveIncident

We will define which Field records require configuring for that Message at the appropriate time.

The scenario will need to be successfully tested before we can say it is complete.

We shall look in detail at each of the Messages and their respective Fields in turn over the next few pages, before moving on to Test.

Again, after clicking the 'Messages' icon, you are directed to the following screen (note: the five previously configured messages are now visible in the list):

1) Click the ellipsis to the right of the UpdateIncident Message & then click Copy.

Copy Message Modal

The fields to edit for the Copy Message modal are as follows:

Your Copy Message modal should look like this:

3) Click Copy.

You will be redirected to the Details page of the newly created ResolveIncident Message.

Bond Fields

Navigate to Message > Bond.

The Bond fields to be edited are as follows:

Your Bond form should look like this:

6) Navigate to Outbound > Trigger.

Outbound Trigger Fields

The Outbound Trigger (as required)* fields to be edited are as follows:

Your Outbound Trigger form should look like this:

9) Click Save.

We are now ready to configure the Fields for our ResolveIncident Message.

The 'message_header', 'incident.comments', 'incident.work_notes' and 'incident.short_description' Field records are already be in place because they were also copied when we copied the Message. We can choose to include, or exclude as many of those and the Integration level ones that are available depending on our requirements (by either activating or deactivating the relevant Fields). We have chosen not to include 'incident.short_description' in our mappings, so we'll delete that.

In Unifi Integration Designer, from the ResolveIncident Message, navigate to Message > Fields.

1) Click on the ellipsis to the right of the incident.short_description Field & click Delete.

2) Confirm Delete.

Field: incident.state (Message level)

The fields to be changed to configure the incident.state (Message level) Field record are as follows:

By simply setting the Active flag to true on the Integration level Field record listed on the Message, Unifi has created the Message level counterpart.

Your ResolveIncident Message Fields page should look like this:

We will now configure Field records for the two remaining Incident record field elements which are required.

Fields & Field Maps

The table below lists the Incident record field elements we will map and the relevant Field Maps required to configure each Field record.

*Field map: Values may vary (dependent on your configuration of the copies). Choose the copy Field Maps you created earlier.

Field: incident.close_code (Message level)

As with 'incident.state' the 'incident.close_code' Field record is a Choice 'type' Field. We will, therefore, configure the choices once at the Integration level. We’ll first configure the Message level Field and then move on to configure the choices on its Integration level counterpart.

From the ResolveIncident Message, navigate to Message > Fields. Click New.

The fields to be configured for our incident.close_code (Message level) New Field modal are as follows:

*These fields are automatically defaulted to true, or automatically populated.

**Field map: Value may vary. Choose the copy Field Map you created for your Integration.

Your 'incident.close_code' (Message level) New Field modal should look like this:

9) Submit the record.

You will be redirected back to the Fields page of the ResolveIncident Message.

Field: incident.close_code (Integration level)

Navigate to the 'Fields' icon to open the Fields page.

10) Click to open the incident.close_code (Integration level) Field record (the one where Message is empty).

The incident.close_code Field record opens to the Details page.

11) Navigate to Field > Field Choices.

12) Click Generate field choices.

13) Click Generate on the 'Generate field choices' modal which displays.

The Field Choices are generated & now visible in the list.

Field: incident.close_notes

From the ResolveIncident Message, navigate to Message > Fields. Click New.

The fields to be configured for the incident.close_notes New Field modal are as follows:

*These fields are automatically defaulted to true, or automatically populated.

**Field map: Value may vary. Choose the copy Field Map you created for your Integration.

Your 'incident.close_notes' New Field modal should look like this:

19) Submit the record.

You will be redirected back to the Fields page of the ResolveIncident Message.

Build

Now that we’ve configured the Field records for the ResolveIncident message, we are ready to build our message scripts.

To quickly navigate to the ResolveIncident message from the Details page of the newly created incident.close_notes Field record…

...click the 'Preview' icon to the left of the Message field.

From the ResolveIncident message, navigate to Message > Fields.

The following Field records should now be in place for your ResolveIncident messsage:

20) Click on Build Message.

You will see the 'Message build successful' Info Message.

21) Navigate to Advanced > Script Editor to view the auto-generated code.

Your Script Editor fields should look like this:

Message Scripts

//===== [ws] Begin Unifi Auto Generated Code =====//

/*
 * This code (between the Begin and End comments) is generated from the
 * Field and Field mapping records which are configured as part of the integration.

 * WARNING: Do not edit the Begin or End comments.
 */

(New auto-generated code will appear here)

//===== [ws] End Unifi Auto Generated Code =====//

(Old pre-existing code will appear here)

We are now ready to Test our ResolveIncident Message.
