This document discusses displaying messages and alerts in Form Builder. It describes using built-in functions like ERROR_CODE and MESSAGE_TYPE to identify error types. Form Builder can display default, informative, and error messages. Alerts can be created and customized at runtime using properties and buttons to handle different responses from the user. Built-in functions like FORM_SUCCESS and FORM_FAILURE help test for success or failure.
