Clients have been asking for hints for items on CMS sites. When you hover over an item, and it displays more helpful information about that item.
With the help from the people on the ServiceNow Community Forums, I have a good way of showing how to add this functionality.
How to add Item Hints
Step 1: Add Tooltip field on content_link table
1. Using the Left Navigation Bar > System Definition > Dictionary
2. Click New
3. Dictionary Entry
Table: Content Link [content_link]
Type: String
Column Label: Hint
Column name: u_hint
Max Length: 40
4. Click Submit
Step 2: Adjust cms_menu_section_blocks UI Macro
1. Find line:
<h2><a href="$" target="$</a></h2>Replace with:
<h2><a href="$" target="$" title="$</a></h2>2. Find line:
<a class="cms_menu_block_item" href="$" target="$</a>Replace with:
<a class="cms_menu_block_item" href="$" target="$" title="$</a>Step 3: Adjust Forms

3. Using the Left Navigation Bar > Type menu_section.form
4. Personalize Form and add Hint field
