Managing the Account > Data Sync > Messagebox

Overview

The name, type/direction and association (to a site or the account) of a topic cannot be edited but there are other properties/details that can be updated/managed. This is done in the "...Topic Details" page of a topic. The "Activity" tab is the only tab without any editable options - it only displays message flow information which can be filtered using predefined time periods ("60 minutes", "24 hours", "30 days").

Step-by-step

1. Click Data Sync Button (in the Admin Dashboard's "Control Panel") and, in the resulting row, select Messagebox Button . This opens the "Topics" page in another tab.
