Defining content as a description, help text or label when configuring documents

Overview

You can define text as a description, help text, or label when importing files.

You want to include contextual information under a section or question.

Descriptions

  • Content can be added as a description when it explains the particular section in detail. Descriptions add context to questions but are not questions themselves.
  • Descriptions can be imported, edited and exported. When importing content as a description, it populates under the section for further description on the following questions.
    Note: You can export descriptions to templates but not to the source.

To mark content as a description, select Description from the sidebar.

Help text

Note: Help text is available for Word files only.

  • Help text is similar to description text in that it provides context and a framework to answer the questions underneath them.
  • When importing content as help text, it populates under the section for further description on the following questions.
    Note: You can mark text as help text during import, but the text is not editable in the platform and won't export within a project.

To mark content as help text, select Help Text from the sidebar.

Labels

Note: Labels are available for sections in Word files, and tables in Word and Excel files.

  • For sections: Adding a label to a section creates a new question (using the section name). To avoid this, we recommended using descriptions or help text - not labels - for sections that contain additional information.
    Note: Descriptions appear in the final export; help text doesn't.
  • For tables: If there is contextual information in a table that you want to import as a description, you can import the content within an answer type as a label.
    • It can be an answer type which has a unique code to differentiate it from other question and answers in the section.
    • Labels populate under the question.

To add an answer type for your label:

  1. Select the column and select Label from the sidebar.
  2. In the answer type drop-down menu, select Label and click Save.
