Field-level Help: Supported?

Post by resume-writer »

I've seen some "old" info about field-level help not being supported. Does MadCap Flare now support field-level help?

Thank you,

Not as such. I mean, it's not called that. You can simulate field-level help by using CSH calls and a custom skin that has no toolbar, navigation, etc., so that it's basically just a popup window that you call from your app.

I implemented once field level help using WebHelp. I created several bookmarks on a page and assigned IDs to the bookmarks. This way if one calls help for a particular control the help opens at the exact spot where the content is located within the topic.
