In the userinterface of our application we have use background colors via a conditional layout. It would be helpful to the user if you could connect some text to the conditional layout which appear if you hover over the field on which the conditional layout is applied. So then user can instantly see what the color means.
+23Hi Eric,
We do have support for a similar feature. You can make use of the Helptext inside the Windows and Web GUI.
For example, in the Software Factory we have conditional layout on the different types of columns; Editable, Read-only and Hidden. Even though it is quite understandable what the difference is between these colors, there are scenarios where this color does not immediately tell what it represents.
That's where the Helptext can help. Here is an image of it:
When creating new Conditional layouts there's also a Translation object generated. If the conditional layout is assigned to a column, the translation object’s helptext is shown in the Helptext (F1 shortkey); like in the image.
Could this existing feature already be the solution you are wishing for?

+5I really like this idea as well, you can perhaps provide some kind of legend to tell the user what specific colours mean. For now,
