Process Purpose

This is a Messagebox Service related process.

The "Inbox / Parse Message's Header" process is used to parse the header(s) of the received message into the defined variables. A message can be received by using the "Inbox / Receive Message" process or the "Receive Message" screen action.

When you add a process, you are required to define its settings. This occurs in the process's properties window which is displayed automatically after having added the "Inbox / Parse Message Header" process.

If any subsequent edition is required, double-click the process to open its properties window and enter the necessary modifications.

Fill in the following options:

Message Header
Variable	Click to select the variable with the message's Header. See To Select/Create a Variable.
Extract Tags, Store Result into Variable(s)
Topic Name	Select the name of the topic profile from the drop-down. If required, click to edit the messagebox topic profile. See To Edit a Message Box Topic Profile.
Header Name column	This column automatically displays the headers included in the received messages.
Store into Variable column	Click to create the variable that receives the data from the selected message Header. See To Select/Create a Variable

If required, use the icon on the upper right corner of the properties window to attach any relevant notes to this process. Click it and enter your notes in the resulting text box. These notes will be displayed in the corresponding "Actions" tab or "Process" window (in the "Notes" field) and in the "Developer Report".

After filling in the required options, click to conclude or to abort.

The added process is displayed in the corresponding "Actions" tab or "Process" window.

When creating a file, we recommend you use the related best practices (ex: do NOT use special characters).

Use the right-click in MCL-Designer's input boxes to access some related options as well as the general "Cut", "Copy"; "Paste"; "Search" actions (active/inactive according to the current context).

Ex: If you right-click the "Variable" input box (included in a "Conversion's" properties window), you are provided with general editing/search actions and other more specific options such as "Variable Select" (see "Variable Select"); "Variable Insert" (see "Variable Insert"); "Insert Special Character" (see To Insert Special Characters into a Control's Text Input Field) and "Localization Select" (see Localization List).

If you right-click another input box, it may provide other possibilities.
