Introduction
Tooltip messages help users make better sense of certain field’s such as explaining what data the field is designed to hold, how the data entered in the field is used, etc.
Zoho Recruit lets you add tooltips to your fields to help your users/candidates enter information with context. Tooltips can be enabled/edited/disabled in the Module Customization page.

Note: Tooltips can be only added to custom fields.
To add a tooltip to a field,
- Navigate to Setup > Customization > Modules
- Click on the module for which you want to customize the layout for.
- Now, hover your mouse pointer over the field to which you want to add a tooltip to and click on Edit Properties

- Check the Show Tooltip option and select what type of tooltip you want, namely, Info Icon or Static Text and click on Done.

Info Icon: This option lets you add an info icon to the field which displays the tooltip message when the mouse icon is hovered over it.

Static Text: You can turn your tooltip message into a placeholder with this option.

Unavailable for picklist, multi-picklist and lookup fields.

You can now see that the tooltip has been added to the custom field.
