Add a Tooltip

You can add tooltips to fields and divider lines in a hub or the 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.

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 go to the Settings section and select Accounting > Chart of Accounts to customize Chart of Accounts. On the form, select Design from the Other Actions drop-down menu.
    • Go to the Settings section and select Screen Designer. In the drop-down list in the title bar 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 that you want to add a tooltip to.
  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 easily see all the tooltip text as you type, especially if it is a larger amount of text, click in the Tooltip field to expand the field so it displays in the Tooltip dialog box. When you finish typing text in the Tooltip dialog box, click Save in the dialog box.
  4. Click Save in the actions and properties pane.

If you use multiple languages in DPS, you must enter the text for a tooltip in each different language that you use. To do this, log in to DPS in each language that you have enabled, and in Screen Designer, enter the text in the Tooltip field in the language that you logged in with.
