I like your proposals for the screen you mention.

Cool!

But for other screens I like the tooltip icons to the right of the input 
types as it gives a lot of space for the tooltip to appear in.  I'll 
switch the icon type.

Triggers next to the labels are a PatternFly recommendation: "
Here is the part of the draft that talks about help: https://www.patternfly.org/wikis/patterns/pattern-development/draft-patterns/forms/#copy-help

Should we have a disable tooltips option?

I don’t think so. User will just interact with them if he wants to. But place the tooltips in the console and we can evaluate if there is a not for this.

Please let me know when you’re done with the tooltips, so I can review the console and make design adjustments :)

Hi Bill,

Here is my proposal:


- Remove the tooltip from the heading and display it as a help text below.

- Place the info icons close to the labels instead of inputs. Use icons
from font awesome:
http://fortawesome.github.io/Font-Awesome/icon/info-circle/

- Use tooltips placed at the top, so the user can still see the input on
the right.

I believe you don’t need some tooltips. In this page, for instance,
available roles and application is pretty obvious (my opinion).

Patternfly is working on this. Here an excerpt of their draft: "To
ensure that it remains effective and useful, use help text sparingly in
your forms. Striving to minimize the amount of help text on your forms
will push you toward better design solutions. Use help text to explain
unfamiliar fields (particularly for new or infrequent users) or syntax
for complex fields. Don’t use help text to compensate for the
shortcomings of your forms."

if you like them.  Going to finish them up tomorrow.

This is a big usability improvement!

I noticed that among Settings, Users, and Roles, there is still some
help text missing.  Assume it's just work in progress?

Under Users --> Attributes --> Required User Actions, only half of the ?
icon shows up.   The field hides part of it. That made me wonder if the
help text was incomplete or hidden.  The only other ? icon on that page
is User Enabled.
