A TEXTAREA has two functions:
- display messages on the user interface
- accept user input text (similar to TEXTBOX).
TEXTAREA may provide context relevant instructions to a User limiting the need for EASAP documentation.
The example below gives technical information to a User about the other GUI input elements.
