System messages are text notifications displayed to BMC HR Case Management users when they are performing an action that requires attention of a user, additional confirmation, or describes erroneous actions.

The BMC HR Case Management includes the default error messages catalog available in the System Settings console that can be modified if necessary. You might want to edit or delete the text in the system messages.  You can also add new error messages if you know the internal error code reserved for handing the system error.
