Adding balloon help to fields

Post by dlee » 2021-01-30 16:11

I would like to add "balloon help" to some of the fields in my app. By "balloon help" I mean either the help message pops up whenever the mouse is moved over the field or a small blue circle at the end of the field can be clicked for information about the field. Is this possible and if so how would I accomplish this?

For <input /> fields:

Code: Select all

$j("#fieldname").attr("title", "your tooltip text");
Not for complex fields like lookup, video, map, image, date, ...
Kind regards,
<js />

Hi,

you can use the standard AppGini Feature. Just put the information you want to show in the description of you field.
Any help offered comes with the best of intentions. Use it at your own risk. In any case, please make a backup of your existing environment before applying any changes.
