How to pop up a line of text when we move the mouse over a field on dynamics crm 2016 online

Hi,

This is one field that our users often get confused, and don't know what it means, so how can we add a line of text  as an explanation when the users move their mouse over this field?

Is this something a crm admin can do or do we need coding for it?

Thanks a lot.

    Hi Qing,

    The enter the text you would like to show to the user in the description property of the field.

    Go to Settings > Custimizations > Customize the System (Ideally you should use solutions)

    Expand the Entity and click Fields.  Double click to open the field.  Populate the description property.  Save and Publish.

    Hi Qing,

    +1 for Nadeeja's answer.

    From CRM 2013 onwards,  we can specify the Description of the field which is also displayed as a tooltip when users hover over a field label on a form. Refer the link below.
