4.4.4 Displaying hint messages
This function allows you to display hint messages for each input field in the workflow details window.
(Figure) Displaying hint messages
A question mark icon appears in input fields for which hint messages are set.
When the question mark icon is clicked, the hint message appears. When any other part other than the hint message is clicked, the hint message disappears. The location where the question mark icon appears depends on the type of the input field. See “(Table) Component fields supporting hint messages”.
Hint messages that can be displayed have the following characteristics.
- Number of characters: 1 to 4096
- Number of characters per line: 40 to 50 (When this number is exceeded, the message will wrap around)
- Can be copied and pasted.
- Cannot contain hyperlinks.
- Displayed even when the field is disabled.
This function can be configured using the hintMessage label in the YAML file for the UI (UI version 1.1). For details, see “UI (UI Version 1.1)”.
