Provide custom help and tips for directory object properties

To help users understand the purpose of specific object properties, you can provide custom help text and short hints for them. The help text is displayed by clicking the button located next to the input field. The hint is displayed in a tooltip when moving the mouse over the input field. When possible, the hint is also displayed inside the field (as long as the field is empty).

To assign custom help and hints to object properties, use property patterns. Adaxes provides a built-in User property pattern that is applied to all user accounts by default. In this tutorial, you will learn how to use this property pattern to specify a hint and help text for a specific property of user accounts.
