A Common Message is shown only when you set the “pass/fail standard” as “do not set the pass line” on the Edit Test Set Section page.
Therefore, even if you set some phrase in the “common message” section, the common message will not be shown when you have checked the “pass line (above certain points)” checkbox.
You can use the “common message” when you do not use the Test Set section for pass/fail decision.
If you wish to have the common message shown and also decide the pass/fail, please take the time to add common messages to the “pass message” and “fail message” sections.
