4 Adding Tips of the Day

This chapter contains the following topics:

4.1 Understanding Tips of the Day

Many JD Edwards EnterpriseOne applications provide tips of the day, which are sets of short informational text that appear each time you launch an application or access a form. You can change these tip sets or create your own. Tips of the day appear sequentially, so you can browse through the tips. When you close the tip form, the system records where in the tip sequence you are and displays the next tip when you launch the object again.

4.1.1 Prerequisite

Create a data dictionary item with glossary text for each tip of the day.

4.2 Working with Tips of the Day

In JD Edwards EnterpriseOne, tips of the day are the glossary texts of data dictionary items. You create one data dictionary item for each tip. Since you can translate data dictionary glossaries, tips of the day can appear in different languages.

You can associate tips with an application, a form, or an application version. The tips appear in the order that you specify, and you can override a user's option to clear the tip of the day feature for the tip set.

After you have associated tips with an object, you can rearrange the tip order, add new tips, or delete existing ones from the tip set.
