Dave,
I have not implemented server localization before -
all installations have been in English. Are there any side effects to
implementing - are there any other changes that need to be implemented to
accommodate? Any gotchas?
Thanks
Simply create View Form:
1.
Table name: arschema
Key Field Name: schemaid
Fields: name, helpText, ...
2.
Table name: field
Key Field Name: fieldId
Fields: fieldName, schemaId, helpText, ...

Put them on Console as Tables...

Herb,
With this approach do you create an AL for each
field that triggers on Gain Focus? Then, the AL performs a Set Fields from
your custom help text form?

For those who want to change the Help Text. Of
course, you could create the second form with the an SQL pull for field names

Hi Stephen
You could try using the artext program to

You know, it would be great if there were Remedy forms in
which the Help text resided, so that a subadmin could use the UT to update
it. Hmmm...sounds like a nice spare time project...

List,
I think I already know the answer to this, but just in case...
The text in the Help Text tab in the Field Properties of a field is
displayed when a user clicks the Arrow+Question Mark button in the WUT

changing this text
