The Business Central user assistance guidelines
require field ToolTips to start with the verb “Specifies”. A ToolTip like 'The payment method code.' just restates the field name, while every standard field in the application opens with “Specifies” and describes what the field actually means. Prefix the description with “Specifies” to match the convention.
Example
table 50100 "Sales Document"
{
fields
{
field(1; "Payment Method Code"; Code[10])
{
ToolTip = 'The payment method code.'; // ToolTip should start with Specifies [AC0015]
}
}
}Rewrite the ToolTip to start with “Specifies” — and take the opportunity to describe what the field means rather than restating its name:
table 50100 "Sales Document"
{
fields
{
field(1; "Payment Method Code"; Code[10])
{
ToolTip = 'Specifies how to make payment, such as with bank transfer, cash, or check.';
}
}
}When the diagnostic is reported
- The ToolTip on a table field or page field control does not start with “Specifies”.
- ToolTips on page actions and analysis views are not checked — only fields (table field definitions and
field()controls on pages) require the “Specifies” prefix.
