- Developer user is the one that will setup some tabs to show this info messages.
- Final Openbravo ERP user
- Standard users will see, when using the application, the info message in the tabs defined to do it by the developer.
Business process definition
Developer will have a check at tab level to decide it must provide info message. Only by checking this value the message will be generated compiling the window. Note that the message will contain the help defined for the tab, so it is not necessary to write any addition information.
In case it's decided to be possible to show help about some fields, developer would be able if the tab is set to show info help to select the fields within it which help should be shown.
