Hello,
I've got a question about Help text option under Caption tab of QV app object.
As I understand so far I can add the help text only for whole object in my QV app. But is it possible to add help text to each of the columns or create something like a Help table box. For example:
-I've got object in my QV app like this:
Chart Object (Client Trades)
ChartField1 | ChartField2 | ChartExpression1 | ChartExpression2 |
---|---|---|---|
1 | xxxxx | 12.5 | Yes |
2 | yyyyy | -29 | No |
-And I want to build something like this for QV app users:
Chart Object with help information for QV app users
QV app Object Name | Object Field/Column/Expression Name | Help Text |
---|---|---|
Chart Object (Client Trades) | ChartField1 | This is uniqe Client ID |
Chart Object (Client Trades) | ChartField2 | This is Client Full Name |
Chart Object (Client Trades) | ChartExpression1 | This is Client profit |
Chart Object (Client Trades) | ChartExpression2 | Does client have a Active account? |
With Help text option under Caption tab of object properties is not enough for me, because I've got lots of objects with big amount of columns/expressions. So that is why it is very important to provide users with proper help guide where user will be able to information about the column very quickly and easyly. Any idea will be helpful for me.
Thank you in advance.

This is a work around not a perfect solution but it should do as you require:
For each column create a small Text Object (I use with a 'Help' style Question mark as the image) and then simply position it in the header of the column and enter the help text you require in it's Object Help box under the Caption tab.
This gives you total flexibility. To ensure they always stay visible set the chart to be the bottom layer and the help boxes to be the top layer.
Hope that helps,
