Usually, when you make a mistake the ICU displays a message on the second
line of the screen. The message is in three parts:
- Some letters and numbers, for example ADM1107.
- A letter:
- I
- Information
- W
- Warning
- E
- Error
- S
- Severe error
- Some explanatory text, for example PLEASE ENTER A WHOLE NUMBER.
The message is color-coded, as follows:
- Blue
- The first two parts.
- White
- Information text, telling you the ICU has done what you asked.
- Yellow
- Warning text. It appears when the ICU can do what you want but it is
probably not a good idea to do it.
- Red
- Error text, telling you the ICU cannot do what you have asked.
The text for severe errors is also red. You see these very rarely.
If they do appear, it is unlikely that it is your fault, so talk to
your local expert.
