24U SimpleHelp Plug-In

This FileMaker plug-in enables solution developers to use interactive help tools such as help tags (tool tips), coachmarks, or roll-over effects for layout objects and controls (data fields, buttons, pictures etc.). By providing these features, 24U SimpleHelp Plug-In now allows developers to create FileMaker solutions with a really intuitive user interface!

• Help tag is a brief text message (help, tip, description) that appears when user moves the mouse pointer over an object or a hot rectangle.
• Coachmark is a colored oval drawn around an object that needs to be brought to user's attention.
• Roll-over effect is any recognizable (usually visible or audible) feedback to moving mouse pointer to/from a specific layout location.
