ADDING/EDITING TOOL TIPS

Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2013 allows for each field on a form to have a “hover over” tip displayed:

Tool Tip Manager makes adding/editing these tips easy and scalable. Using Tool Tip Manager you can

add/edit these tips to any field without needing System Admin/Customizer security roles and in bulk

with CRM’s Advanced Find and Export To Excel/Re-Import functions.

To add/edit the tip for any CRM field simply use the navigation bar and go to Settings | Tool Tip Entities

and select, from the Open Tool Tip Entities grid view, the Tool Tip Entity record for the CRM entity

where the field exists and click Edit (our double click the record to open it).



Find the field for which you would like to add/edit the tip by using the sub-grid or the search box, double

click and open the Tool Tip Attribute record.



Simply type the tip you’d like to appear when the field is hovered over by a user in CRM into the New

Description field and click Save.

When the record has finished saving you will see your new tip in the Current Description field.

When you have finished adding/editing tips to all of the fields for this entity you simply click the Publish

button from the Tool Tip Entity form. (Note: This will publish all pending customizations for this entity)



If you have added/edited tips for fields from multiple entities you may also, from the Active Tool Tip

Entities grid view, select the Tool Tip Entity records that contain the fields which you have added tips to

and click the Publish button. (Note: This will publish all pending customizations for these entities)

When no Tool Tip Entities are selected there is a Publish All button available that can publish all of your

tool tip changes but be careful THIS WILL PUBLISH ALL PENDING CRM CUSTOMIZATIONS IN THE SYSTEM.

The hover over tip for the field(s) has now been updated.
