About Alerts

An alert is a modal window that displays a message notifying the operator of some application condition.

Use alerts to advise operators of unusual situations or to warn operators who are about to perform an action that might have undesirable or unexpected consequences.

There are three styles of alerts: Stop, Caution, and Note. Each style denotes a different level of message severity. Message severity is represented visually by a unique icon that displays in the alert window.

Oracle Forms has many Built-in alerts that display pre-defined messages. You can also create your own custom alerts that display in response to application-specific events.

When an event occurs that causes an alert to display, the operator must respond to the alert's message by selecting one of the predefined alert buttons. Selecting any button immediately dismisses the alert.
