A reminder about the differences between messages and screen messages
This topic summarizes some of the important differences between messages and screen messages in service flow projects.
Some of the important differences between the two types of artifacts
are as follows:
| Characteristic: | Message: | Screen message: |
|---|---|---|
| A description of the artifact: | A structure used to store data during the execution of a flow or to pass data between the flow and other applications. | A description of an application screen and its fields. |
| The type of file in which the artifacts are stored. | Message file (also called a message definition file) | Screen message file |
| The file extension of the file: | .sfmxsd | .sfmxsd |
| The type of subproject in which the file can occur. |
