The wizards help guide you through the configuration process. Many of the wizards allow you to use form controls as templates to dynamically create personalize what the users user sees rather than hard coding this. See the section on UsingTemplatesinForm/Doc/ErrorActionsUsing Templates for full details. Hover over any field in the wizards for a helpful hint.
...
After the user submits the form/workflow, the browser will display a standard page standard frevvo page with a text message. For example, the message might say, “Thank you for completing our form.” You supply the specific text in the Message field. This option works best for relatively brief messages. It can be tricky to enter or edit large amounts of text in the wizard's Message field, so for verbose messages consider creating a simple HTML page for your message and choosing the Forward User to your Web Page wizard.
...
The message can be customized, using the wizard's control dropdown, with values the user enters into the form. For example, if your form contains a fields named firstName and lastName, you can set your message to "Thank you {firstName} {lastName}". Now when a user submits the form the controls templates {firstName} and {lastName} will automatically be replaced with field values "Thank you Joe Smith". See UsingTemplatesinForm/Doc/ErrorActionsUsing Templates for full details.
Another useful message is to display a link back to the form. For example the display message:
...
| Note |

Javascript is not allowed in the display message. Plain text, html HTML, and control templates are allowed. Anything else will break the message and nothing will be displayed. |
...
After the user submits the form/workflow, the browser will be redirected to another URL, which you supply in the URL field. You must include the http:// prefix (e.g., http://myhost.com/thankyou.html). The project can have a Form Action Base URL which you set in the project properties. For example, you can have http://myhost.com/ in the project project baseURL and simply “thankyou.html” in the Form Action URL field.
...
You can forward the user from one form one frevvo form to another by specifying the raw URL of the second form in one of the Form Action wizards in the first form. When the user clicks Submit on the first form, you can choose to:
...
Replace the values in the <> brackets in the examples with your values. (These parameters are explained below.) You can also substitute the value of a form control in the below URLs using templates, for example: to use a control named "amount" in the URL, configure it as:
...
These wizards optionally allow you to customize what the user sees if an error occurs. You can either display a message or forward users to a web page of your choice. The wizards behave exactly like the corresponding Form Action wizards above. The Display message can be customized to display the actual error that occurred by adding the special {_frevvo_root_cause_msg} template to your message text. This is helpful for debugging, especially if your are using Onlineusing frevvo Online.

- Customize the email body and Subject text in the Message field. You can use HTML and templates.
