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,

+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.

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.
