New Feature Detail 

Help Text

The Administrator can specify any text in the description of a field, container or form properties and then an (info) icon is displayed on the form.

Help text can be displayed for:

ContainerNext to container heading

RelationshipNext to relationship heading (note: relationship heading must be on by setting a 'display name' in the relationship properties
Entire FormNext to the form heading

Screenshots:

In the field, container or form properties, add a 'Description" and select "Show Help"

An (info) icon appears next to the relevant form element.

When a user selects the help icon, the help text appears in a popup.

Known Issues for help text

  • When a field control is not set to "Autofill" then the (info) icon still appears to the far right of a control leaving a whitespace
  • The (info) icon overlaps some controls in certain circumstances
  • Sometimes hard to tap on (info) on mobile 
  • Some minor styling issues with (info) icon.

The above will be fixed in subsequent releases.
