Once the MESSAGTB file has been imported, the new message class table will be used from that point forward.

These message classes are as follows:
Update, Import, and Installation Information The message class table update will be transparent to you except for an Import dialog box, which will appear on your screen and display the progress of the import as the file is importing. The new message class table file is also available on the Federal Student Aid Download (FSAdownload) Web site, located at http://fsadownload.ed.gov, in the "Software and Associated Documents" section. Using Multiple Networked PCsIf you have performed a network installation of EDconnect, the new message class table will import into the EDconnect database on your network drive. Individual workstations will all have access to the new message class table after it has been imported.
