Harness and Section forms - Adding a Smart Label
A Smart Label is a text label that is clickable. At run time, if the user clicks the label
text, a pop-up SmartInfo section appears.
Adding a Smart Label is similar to adding a text label, except that the Format field value
is SmartLabel and accepts parameters.
-
To build and test a section, identify or create a section that forms the contents of
the pop-up window.
The section cannot contain input fields.

Add the Smart Label control to the Harness, Section, or Flow Action by performing the
following actions:

the mouse button.
