System Messages

Utilities > System Settings > Messages

Manages short text strings on non editable pages and areas.

The system messages are short pieces of text that appear as part of a template e.g. a company number in the footer, or perhaps a telephone number present in the header within all page templates.

By placing the text for these within system messages, they are very easily updated in one place while maintaining styling consistency.
