Authoring in-context help for form fields authoring-in-context-help-for-form-fields
Introduction introduction
There are situations when end users filling a form are not sure how to fill details in a particular form field. To address such issues, adaptive forms provides support to add text or rich in-context help to a form field. It helps improve the form filling experience and avoids any ambiguity for end users.
This article discusses how form authors can add in-context help while authoring Adaptive Forms.
