You can easily provide guidance by attaching help to any field. When you do so, Quickbase displays a question mark icon next to the field. When a user hovers over the question mark, a yellow tool tip appears, containing whatever text you want.
To add help to a field:
-
Open the table you want to customize from the Table bar, click Settings in the Page bar, then click Fields.
-
Click the field that you want.
-
Click the Properties tab.
-
In the Field help text box, type whatever text you want to appear when you move the mouse over the i (
) icon.
-
Click Save.
Note: Field-level help appears on forms.
