Figure: How to show a tooltip like this in Dynamics?

Option 1 - Description attribute

Advantages:

  • Out of box feature. No customizations needed

Disadvantages:

  • Not obvious to see - users are often unaware they can hover on the label to see the note

Option 2 - PCF control

Advantages:

  • Flexibility - can customize any style or behaviour

Disadvantages:

  • Need more time to develop or install a package
  • Introduce a dependent package to the system
