Title: RE: Dynamic Updates to Help Text

** ** Rick I have done this for all my clients that want help text for fields. I create a field on the form to hold the help text I create 2 buttons (help? and hide help) I created a form to hold the help text When a user clicks on Help? the help text field becomes visible As they gain focus to the fields of a form, the help text for that field is displayed.   The form that hold holds the help text can have any permissions for people to add data to it.     Herb     -----Original Message----- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rick cook Sent: Wednesday, September 20, 2006 2:14 PM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Re: Dynamic Updates to Help Text   You know, it would be great if there were Remedy forms in which the Help text resided, so that a subadmin could use the UT to update it.  Hmmm...sounds like a nice spare time project...   Rick From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of McKenzie, James J C-E LCMC HQISEC/L3 Sent: Wednesday, September 20, 2006 2:07 PM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Re: Dynamic Updates to Help Text ** Stephen: Sub-admins?

The text in the Help Text tab in the Field Properties of a field is displayed when a user clicks the Arrow+Question Mark button in the WUT toolbar and then clicks on top of a field.  Is there any other way of changing this text outside of the Remedy Administrator Tool? I know I could write something that would directly update the SQL table that holds the help text for the fields on the various forms, and then create a screen whereby authorized users could change the help text as needed.  I want to give certain users the ability to change this instead of me having to update the text whenever they need to change a word or add a comma, etc. Any other approaches?  Thanks.
