A user with the List Admin permission can provide a quick tip to assist users in correctly populating a field in the Contract Profile screen. A quick tip is usually a phrase or a short sentence that provides guidance when users have several items to choose from in a field list. Quick tips are also used to ensure users populate or format a text field correctly.

Important: The Contract Description field is used as a quick tip during the contract request process, rather than in the Contract Profile screen. When a user initiates a contract request and selects a Contract Request Type template, a quick tip icon displays for the Contract Description field in the template so that when the user hovers over the icon, the information provided as a quick tip assists the user in populating the field. The information the user enters into this field is transferred to the Contract Description field in the Contract Profile once the contract request is approved an d the Profile is created.
