EFT Messages
EFT generates several different types of messages during operation. Some messages can be edited within the administration interface, others must be edited within a text file that you create, and others are hard coded and not editable. The various messages and their uses are described below. (Note that items linked in the Message column are described elsewhere in this user guide. Click the links for more information.)
