"Loading Status" option is available with each embedded connection. Where Loading message would be the alert message for display, (or to be used for dynamic visibility ). this message will get populated at the cell targeted by the "Insert In" , while the connection is active (or in other words while data is being fetched from the back end server). "Idle Message " as the name implies this message gets populated in the same cell while particular connection is Idle.
We can use the message to show the same with the help of label or use it to display some other form of alerts.
