Display Msgbox
Description
Display Msgbox shows a pop-up message box during workflow execution in Process Studio to assist with manual debugging and testing. Use this step to inspect field values, display status messages, or pause execution at specific points while developing a workflow. The message box appears only when the workflow runs in Process Studio — it does not display when workflows run through an Agent. The user clicks OK to continue workflow execution.
- Click OK to close the message box.
- When this step runs through the Agent, it always exits through the success hop and row execution proceeds to the next step.
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.
