Add Help Text to Any Field
The MLS administrator can add help text to any Main List or Detail field in Flexmls. You may want to add help text when your members need more information about a particular field. For example, you can use help text to explain the type of data to enter or to remind members about an MLS rule.
Help Text Display Options
Help text can be displayed in a popup or below the field.
When help text is displayed as a popup, members will click a question mark next to the field to open a popup window with more information. This option is typically used for longer descriptions.

Help text can also be displayed below the field.

There is also an option to display the help text to the right of the field. If you select this option, the help text will still display below the field due to the formatting of the listing input form on New Listing Maintenance.
