Detailed explanations of every feature and function in NutshellHelp Tip
The Help Tip component allows you to add in-line help bubbles to your forms, providing assistance to end-users as they interact with your apps.
Drop a Help Tip onto your forms to give new end-users handy in-line help content
When an end-user taps on the Help Tip, a bubble opens, giving them custom instructions that you provide.
Resizing a Help Tip Component
For consistency, Help Tips can’t be manually resized on the Canvas. Instead, the size of a Help Tip is dependent on the size of the icon and any padding/margin applied.
Help Tip Properties
When a Help Tip component is selected on the Canvas, the following settings are available in the Properties panel:
| Basic Settings | |
|---|---|
| Reference | A unique identifier for the Help Tip. |
| Help Message | The text you’d like to appear in the help bubble on the device. This is limited to 200 characters, since smartphone screens are fairly small. If you need more space, link out to further documentation elsewhere. |
| Hyperlink Text | If you decide to link out to a web page for further reading, this is the hyperlink text as it will appear in the bubble. |
| Hyperlink URL | If you decide to link out to a web page for further reading, this is the URL that will open when an end-user taps on the hyperlink. |
| Styling | |
|---|---|
| Various | A host of options to style your Help Tip icon and bubble, that should be pretty familiar if you’ve ever used a basic document editor like Microsoft Word. |
