ToolTip should not exceed 200 characters (AC0017)
The user assistance model recommends keeping ToolTips short (about 200 characters including spaces) so users can scan them quickly. The UI can render longer ToolTips, but longer text reduces scannability and consistency.
Concise ToolTips improve the user experience by providing essential information without overwhelming the reader.
Example
The following field has a ToolTip that exceeds the recommended length:
table 50100 MyTable
{
fields
{
field(1; MyField; Integer)
{
ToolTip = 'Specifies the value that is used for this particular field and contains a very long description that exceeds the recommended maximum length of 200 characters, which makes it harder for users to quickly scan and understand the purpose of this field.'; // ToolTip exceeds the recommended maximum length of 200 characters. [AC0017]
}
}
}
To fix this, shorten the ToolTip to focus on essential information:
table 50100 MyTable
{
fields
{
field(1; MyField; Integer)
{
ToolTip = 'Specifies the value used for this field.';
}
}
}
