What “message” are you referring to here and how will it be used inside your app? Can you provide more context on what you expect to see?

In this case it is an alert message, that will have the date, time and zone where the alert was made  
for example: “Suspicious activity on backyard at 11:40, 10-17-2023”

Then I think adding a row using that button would be sufficient. Maybe you can open a form and input the zone and the alert, collect the date & time automatically using the current time value?
