Is there field help in the kinetic grids now?

I see this idea is marked delivered: https://epicor-manufacturing.ideas.aha.io/ideas/KNTC-I-2325

But I’m on 2022.2 and do not see field help available in the kinetic grids. Can anyone with 2023.1 advise whether there is field help in the grids in that version?

Side note if you would like Epicor to tell us the release in which an idea is delivered to avoid this kind of guessing game, you can vote for this idea:https://epicor-manufacturing.ideas.aha.io/ideas/KIN-I-3554

Yay!

Epicor did tell us that it’s included in the Release Notes for 2023.1 (slightly different from your Idea I appreciate that).

And I appreciate that - just would appreciate the loop being closed on the other end.

I voted for it. I had at least 3 problems (PRB numbers) in 2022 and received emails saying all have been “resolved”, but two are still an issue in 2023.1.4. It would be nice to know when to expect them.

So…We have no field help in 2022.2 on Kinetic screens? But it’s there in 2023? I really wasn’t planning another update just yet…but I would like to have the field help available. I suppose I could just use no Kinetic screens but I’ve been trying very hard to get used to them…

So many improvements, do it.

Is the update to 2023 less painful than the one from 2021 to 2022?

note that there is field help in 2023.1, but in 2023.2, we are also adding back in the extended field help that was buried in the Smart Client… in order to do this we had to create a place in the database to store this extended data, and then we had to transfer it from the client apps to the database, and expose it in the browser based UI… it took some coordination between the UX team, Documentation team, and other developers. But as of 2023.2, we believe that we have migrated all the help over to the new UI.

@timshuwy, you’re also to be applauded for making the field help toggle persistent throughout the UI. That is MUCH appreciated.

Now, how about docking that Field Help panel so it doesn’t fly out and block a quarter of the screen? No good deed goes unpunished!

@aball we have an idea for that: Epicor Kinetic Ideas and development has it, but it is not complete yet.
