Display Msgbox
Description
Display Msgbox shows a pop-up message box during process execution in the Process Studio graphical interface. Use this process entry during development and debugging to verify the current point of execution, display variable values, or pause the process for manual review. The message box shows OK and Cancel buttons — clicking OK follows the success hop, while Cancel follows the failure hop, allowing you to interactively control the process flow during testing.
- Clicking on "Cancel" exits on the red hop
- When running this entry from a non-Graphical User Interface, the entry always exits on the green hop.
The Display MessageBox step shows a pop-up alert on the screen. To prevent sensitive data exposure to anyone viewing the monitor, the step includes a built-in security feature that automatically redacts this information before displaying the dialog box. It replaces secret fields, parameters, variables, and sensitive credential attributes (.Password, .Encrypted1, and .Encrypted2) with ********. It replaces whole credential references (such as ${myCred}) with AE_CRED.
This protection is fully automatic and requires no manual configuration. The step does not mask standard credential attributes (such as .Username, .Port, .Parameter1, or .Parameter2). It treats these as general configuration and displays them in the message box as plain text.
