Altering alert messages for core or custom interactive forms

  1. Open an interactive form (such as the Recalculate Payroll form).
  2. Create a label for “Hidden Messages”.
  3. Turn off all viewable-by attributes for the label.
  4. Change the label name to Hidden_Messages_Name.
    Ensure the label name does not contain spaces and does not exceed 32 alphanumeric characters.
  5. Specify 110 in the Width field.
  6. Create a text box that lines up with the label you created in Step 2.
  7. Turn off all of the viewable-by attributes for the text box.
  8. Change the name of the text box.
    Ensure the label name does not contain spaces and does not exceed 32 alphanumeric characters.
  9. Copy the default text from the Hidden_Messages label to the text box.
  10. Specify 1000 in the Maximum Length field.
  11. Update the alert message manually with the new ID.
    For example, change alert("This message is my message"); to alert(getElement('MyHiddenTextName'));
