Add help to a field label on a form

You can create field-level help in forms by placing help icons in individual fields and converting the field labels to links to external or internal URLs.

About this task

You can link to any type of file, document, or wiki, and open it in a separate browser window. The following is an example of a form with field label help enabled.

1. Open the form.
2. Right-click the label for the field and select Configure Label.
   The Field Label form appears. The fields in the top portion of the form are pre-populated. The Help field is not currently used.

   

3. Complete the form.

   Field	Input value
   Hint	Type text to use as a tooltip that appears when a user places the cursor on the field label.
   URL	Enter the URL of the target file to open when the field label or icon is clicked. This can be a complete URL to a file outside the instance, or a relative URL to a target on the instance.
   URL target	Not used. The help file opens in a new tab regardless of the URL target value.

4. Click Update.
