# Global Messages for Events

The tabbed page Global Messages for Events of the Messages and Exits window is used to determine the message recipients for specified events.

This section describes the fields and selection options provided on the Global Messages for Events page.

## Recipient Table

For all events checked in the Recipient section, a predefined message will always be sent to all message recipients defined in the Recipient Table for these events.

This function works only if the recipient table contains at least one recipient.

Note
Only one recipient table is available for all defined events.

You can use e-mail addresses as recipients. These must be stored in the symbol table, which can be defined on the Global Messages for Events page.

The recipient table contains the symbol, preceded by the global activation escape character, representing the recipient in this case.

The fields contained in the recipient table are explained in Fields and Columns: Message and Message Recipients in the section Message Sending in the User's Guide.

## Event Store

You can limit the number of messages distributed among users by storing part of the messages in the event store of System Automation Tools. The messages can then be checked only if required.

For all events checked in the Event Store section, a predefined message will always be saved in the event store (if used) of System Automations Tools.

For detailed information on the event store, refer to the appropriate System Automation Tools documentation.

## Symbols to be Used

In the Symbols to be Used section of the Global Messages for Events window, you can specify the symbol table to be used for all symbol replacements within the message recipient table.

In the input fields, you can enter a valid name or select a name from a drop-down list box.

Field | Description
--- | ---
Owner | Owner of the symbol table used for symbol replacements within the recipient table.
Symbol Table | Symbol table to be used for symbol replacements within the recipient table.
Version (Symbol Table) | Version of the symbol table to be used. If you do not specify a version, the unnamed version is used. Specify `(unnamed)` if you want to use the current version for the current date.
Escape | Read-only field. The escape character to be used is the global activation escape character. The value is derived from the global activation escape character. It cannot be modified here.

## Events to be Selected

In the Event message to section of the Global Messages for Events window, you can specify the events for which messages are to be sent and/or stored in the event store.

Prerequisite: The recipient table must be valid.

You specify the events to be selected by marking the check boxes next to the required events.
