Messages Panel
The Messages panel displays warnings, errors, and informational messages generated during cost calculation and graph processing.
The Messages panel displays a running log of events, warnings, and errors generated during import, processing, and export. It is a read-only view — you can read the messages, but you cannot edit them.
What it shows
The panel receives log messages from the WSi processing pipeline. Messages are colour-coded by severity:
| Colour | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Information | Normal progress messages — files loaded, processes started, calculations completed |
| Warning | Non-fatal issues that may affect results — for example, a suggested material differs from the current selection |
| Error | Problems that prevented an operation from completing — for example, a file could not be read |
Each message starts with a timestamp and its severity, so you can trace when it originated.
Relationship to Other Panels
The Messages panel is tabbed together on the right side with Details and Cost Analysis — click a tab to switch between them.
It updates automatically whenever the processing pipeline generates a new message. You do not need to refresh the panel manually.
