When Show Field Hint is enabled, this icon appears next to fields that have help text: (?)

Hovering the mouse over the (?) icon displays the help text

If this option is enabled and there is text in the Description for a field in the Form, then:

1. That text appears as on-screen help when the user clicks the Hint link, by default.
2. In each Form, it becomes possible to specify the Field Hint to use for that field, in that form. (That text is then displayed as the field hint, overriding the field description.)

Note: The Field Hint option is available for all field types, except for Custom Control and Lookup-Derived fields.

Remove a Field from the Layout

To Remove a Field from a Layout:

• In the Forms tab, hover the mouse over the field to remove, and click the Remove Field button in the floating toolbar

The field is removed from the layout, but it remains available in the object. Fields can be reused in this layout or any new layouts.
