Messages awaiting operator action

A message is displayed until an operator action causes it to be deleted.

Some messages are deleted automatically after an operator displays the message or its details, if available. These messages generally provide information only, and are deleted automatically because no further action is required.

Messages that require further action provide message details that include a recommended operator action. The message and its details remain available until an operator deletes it manually. This allows reviewing the message details to assist operator intervention. But an operator must delete the message when its information is no longer required.

Deleting messages provides greater assurance of displaying new messages as they are received.
