Adding a Tooltip
Harness and Section forms - Adding a Tooltip
A Tooltip is a text label that is clickable. At run time, if the user clicks the label text, a pop-up SmartInfo section appears.
Adding a Tooltip is similar to adding a text label, except that the Format field value is SmartLabel and accepts parameters.
- To build and test a section, identify or create a section that forms the contents of
the pop-up window.The section cannot contain input fields.
