Innovative ways of implementing Context Sensitive Help in FC

We have Business Objects 5.1.6 version. Business Users would like see Objects descriptions defined in the universe to the BO fullclient when they move mouse over to the object or click on the object.

There is similar feature available in the Query Panel of the Full Client, when user clicks on the objects; it will show description (help) of objects from the universe at the bottom frame.

Your help will be appreciated.

I don’t think it is possible to achieve what you are after.

I believe their may be a macro that can help you, but there is no easy way to what you want by default.

If you open the Variables panel, the decriptions are available there. I just don’t know of any way to make them appear anywhere else.

Thanks Steve.

Thats good hint. I am looking into the BO documents to find the API call for the objects description so that I can use it to write macro.
