Sounds good. So this would be a little field where all messages to the
user can appear? I think this idea could be explored a bit, to standardize
user feedback as Lars points out, but also to think about extending what
DHIS communicates to the user. For example, instead of just "process
complete", it could read "Report table updated. The report can now be
viewed for (month(s))" etc. Not sure if this is a valid example, but there
should be plenty of places where a couple of sentences would help the user
understand what's going on, or point to the next logical step, etc.
