I have found the most efficient method for using Alerts is the create a generic Alert object for each Alert type (Note, Caution, and Stop) with a single OK button. Then use the appropriate Built-ins set the properties of the Alert you need for the message you are displaying rather than create an Alert for each message you want displayed in an Alert.
For example, if I need to an informational message I would set the Title and the Text of the Alert and then display the alert.
DECLARE
Alert_ID ALERT;
n_alert_button NUMBER;
BEGIN
Alert_ID := Find_Alert('NOTE');
Set_Alert_Property(Alert_ID, TITLE, 'Title of the Information here.');
Set_Alert_Property(Alert_ID,ALERT_MESSAGE_TEXT, 'Enter date in format: MM/DD/YYYY');
n_alert_button := Show_Alert(Alert_ID);
END;
Using generic Alerts, it is a good idea to create a wrapper package that you would call instead of the Alert related built-ins so you can simplify your display of messages as well as reset your Alert back to it's defaults after the Alert is displayed. If you decide to use a wrapper package, I recommend you add a 4th Alert type of "STATUS" which will display your message in the standard status bar. This way, your developers have a single method they call for displaying messages.
I've used this type of messaging package for years and it makes things a lot easier once the package has been created. Just my thoughts on Alerts.
