What is right way to write or speak?

I am a developer and want to add message to my application once the record has been added to the database.

So I am confused about the right way to write/speak the message.

The record is added

or

The record has been added

Best Answer

Another possibility is to simply say it like this:

Record added.

That's short for "[The] record [has been / was] added."

You will see that sort of thing all the time in software.

Message sent.

File deleted.

Users don't like to read a lot of text. It's good to get straight to the point with them.
