Description Ilanit Stein 2014-05-04 12:29:02 UTC 
Description of problem:

Using the help info, that pop ups is problematic for the following reasons:

1. Not intuitive: User is not aware of it's existence. 
I myself discovered it by chance, following standing with the mouse on greyed out field for several sec.
2. Not consistent: Not implemented for ALL such cases.
3. It is seen only if drugging the mouse from out side of the field, into the field. That is if entered with the mouse to the field, and move inside of it, the help message will not be displayed.

Therefore, please move the help info to be under the "tool tip" help, visible to user with the question mark, near the relevant field in UI.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
av8.1

Example:
See attached screen shot of cpu pinning.
