Adding Field-Level Help for Custom Fields
Field-level help is a brief description of the purpose of a field and the information that should be entered into a field. To increase the usability of customized forms or records, you should always provide field-level help for custom fields. The help is available when a user clicks the name of the field.
You add custom field-level help to custom fields on the Display subtab of the custom field setup page.
