Field level Help

Post by ExonS »

Hi All,
I'm creating field level Help using micro-content. I'm very familiar with micro-content and context Help. I've got the ctx ids working with the micro-content. The Flare videos mention "may require third party applications".
Could anyone tell me what these 3rd party applications do, and where to find them?
I'm hoping to find better methods to display the content, rather than launching a full-sized browser tab, but also interested in what other features can be added with 3rd part applications.
Any advice much appreciated.

That's exactly what it means, your third-party application displaying field-level help in context (i.e. in a popup etc).

Essentially you'd make a CSH call within your app when someone clicks a '?' or similar icon, and then the micro content for that field is displayed in the app, rather than in the user's browser.

Thanks and apologies for the late reply.

So is there anything I can add in the Flare environment using a third party tool to control the size of the pop-up or is that down to the developers in their environment?

Thanks
