Add a Tool Tip with the Screen Designer

Use the Tool Tip feature in the Screen Designer to create brief company-specific help tips for your screens. You can create tool tips for most fields, including input, drop-down list, and check box fields.

After you create a tool tip for a field, a user can hover the mouse pointer over the field to view the tip.

You cannot format text for a Tool Tip.

To add a tool tip:

1. Display the screen (form) that contains fields that you want to customize and click the Screen Designer icon at the bottom right of the screen.
2. On the Screen Designer form, select the field to which you want to add a tool tip. Select the input portion of the field, not the label of the field.
3. In the Tool Tip field on the Properties pane, enter the text for the tip.
4. Click OK.
