Help Text Editor
To open the help text editor
In the navigation pane , click Help Texts to enter Help Texts navigation mode.
Either select a help text to edit, or create a new help text. The help text details are displayed in the details pane. The help text editor is located on the right, below the language selector and the short and long name.
The help text editor is a simple WYSIWYG editor that is powered by Markdown. If you create a new help text, the editor is filled with a template based on the help text type that you selected.
Mandatory Elements
The help text template consists of one or more building blocks that have the following structure:
- Section title - do not change this title.
- Mandatory/optional indicator
- Expected content - suggestions of what kind of content is expected.
If a section is mandatory, replace the mandatory/optional indicator and the expected content with your own content.
If a section is optional, you are free to choose whether to include it. If you decide to include it, replace the mandatory/optional indicator and the expected content with your own content. If you decide to leave it out, remove the section title, optional indicator and expected content for that section.
