    About this task

    Configure specific messages to remain on a screen until the user actively dismisses the message. By default, messages fade after a few seconds.

    When a function button has multiple messages associated to it, then all associated messages are consolidated into a single message. If one of these messages contains a persistence attribute, then the single consolidated message adopts the persistence behavior.

    Only one banner message is displayed at a time. Newer banner messages replace existing banner messages. This replacement occurs even if the original existing banner contains persistent attributes.
