Create Helps for Fields

In addition to question text, a CAPI application can have help information for each question. During entry, the F2 key is used to display a question's help text.
  1. From the View menu, press CAPI Questions (or press Ctrl+Q). The question editor will be displayed.
  2. Select an item from the tree on the left. Any text already defined for this item will be displayed in the editing window on the right.
  3. Switch from editing questions to editing helps by pressing the button.
  4. Enter help text into the editing window. You can format the text using the toolbar, or use the formatting choices shown in the CAPI menu.
When you have finished entering the question's text, you can select a different item or switch to the form view or logic view.
