Idea for helptext in universal

Related products:Universal GUI

Hey Community,

 

For our partner were looking for an easy way to convey more guiding information on how to use the application. One part of the application is for external use and has to be focused on the usability. What would help us immensely is the ability to create information buttons where we can put the extra information about a field when the label just isn’t enough. An example on how we would like to see said button is presented in the image below:

Would love to hear your ideas on this topic.

 

With kind regards,

Jeffrey

@Tolboom Jeffrey Are you familiar with the Tooltip text you can add in the Translation table? These will show up in most parts of the application when hovering over a field or button.

Is this sufficient for your use case?

Hey Arie,

Thank you for the quick response.

The tooltip is great for people with affinity on web systems. Our application however will be used more widespread with users who do not use these kind of systems as often. The tooltip does not show immediately and you need the specific knowledge that hovering over a field will present you with more information. Combine that with the fact that not every field of ours will have the extra tooltip information and people will be more likely to forget that the option exists.

That is the reason we would like a more visible way to present the extra information where needed.

With kind regards,
Jeffrey
