Add a Tooltip

You can add tooltips to fields and divider lines in a hub or in Chart of Accounts.

A tooltip provides users with easy access to helpful information about the field or section of a tab that has a divider line. Tooltip text displays when you click beside a field or divider line.

If Vantagepoint is set up to use multiple languages, see Screen Designer and Multiple Languages for some special considerations.

To add a tooltip to a field or divider line:

  1. In the Navigation pane in the browser application, open Screen Designer in one of the following ways:
    • Go to the Hubs section and select the hub that you want to customize, or select Settings > General Ledger > Chart of Accounts to customize the Chart of Accounts. On the Actions bar of the form that displays, select Other Actions > Design.
    • Select Settings > General > Screen Designer. In the Application field at the top of the Screen Designer form, select the application that you want to customize.
  2. On the Screen Designer form, open the appropriate tab, and click the field or divider line for which you want to add a tooltip.
  3. In the actions and properties pane on the right side of the form, go to the Field Properties section, and enter the text for the tooltip in the Tooltip field.
    To see all the tooltip text as you type, click in the Tooltip field. This displays the tooltip text in a text box on the Tooltip dialog box. Press the ENTER key on your keyboard to enter text on a new line in the text box. Click on the text box toolbar to display the text editor tools for formatting the text. Click Apply to save and return to the Screen Designer form.
  4. Click Save on the Actions bar.
