11 Working with User Assistance

The Oracle JET user assistance framework includes support for user assistance on the editable components in the form of help, hints, and messaging that you can customize as needed for your application. Editable components include oj-checkboxset, oj-color*, oj-combobox*, oj-input*, oj-radioset, oj-select*, oj-slider, oj-switch, and oj-text-area.

Note:

The oj-input* mentioned above refers to the family of input components such as oj-input-date-time, oj-input-text, and oj-input-password, among others. oj-color*, oj-combobox*, and oj-select* each represent two components.
