I've been asked to add help text to some of the fields in Genie. Ideally, I would like to allow the user to hover over a field heading (output field) and see the help text. Is this possible in Genie?

Thanks for any input!

Do you mean the "tool tip" property? Or something more sophisticated than that?

Can you explain what problems you're having with this?

Hi Scott

I don't have a problem at all. I haven't implemented any of this yet. I looked at the properties and the API reference, but didn't really see anything related to "help". I think tool tip might work if it allows me to enter a brief description of what the field is used for. Is there somewhere I can see the syntax or an example of how it's used?

Thanks!

Just go into a screen, select an output field, and type some words ("Test test test" for example) into the "tool tip" property of a field. Save your changes and exit the designer. Mouse over the field, and see what it looks like.

Awesome! That works, Scott. Thanks for the help!
