(updated client version 5.16 or later)
The UserHints screen presents hints defined by the customer and provides for maintenance activities (add/change/delete).
Throughout the MOMI PC Client Tool tips, or Hints, are provided 'all over the place'. This information is usually static based on that particular field. This screen allows the user to define a Value (i.e. text) that if it EXACTLY matches the current value displayed on the screen (in that particular cell or location) the supplied UserHint is added to the existing MOMI Tool Tip.
UserHints are displayed with a key value matches text within a field displayed on a MOMI screen. For example, the process name $ZPNS is an OSS Name Server. Enter $ZPNS in the Value field, the text "OSS Name Server" in the UserHint area then press Add/Change. When a field with a MOMI hint is displayed and matches $ZPNS, the displayed hint will add "OSS Name Server" to the displayed hint.
Existing hints may be removed by clicking on the hint and then pressing Delete.
UserHints may be exported from one system and imported into another. Press Export to File to create a UserHints file. Connect the MOMI PC Client to the desired system and then press Import from File to load the saved hints.
When Import is selected, the following window displays to determine if the imported hints replace existing. By default, existing UserHints are not replaced (i.e. not overwritten). Select OVERWRITE to cause existing hints to be replaced with a matching one in the Import file.
During the import process, the following resulting status screen is displayed:
The user many also create their own ASCII text file of Hints to import into MOMI. The file has the following format:
== comment line - ignored and not processed
<key>=<hint>
Where:
== - comment line, not processed
<key> - unique text to match, but not case sensitive
= - required separator
<hint> - text to display, optionally using <br> to create a multi-line displayed tool tip
Examples:
== file of user hints - created by Pete Williams
== updated by John Doe

Special functions
<key>=
delete key
DELETE-ALL-RECORDS
deletes all UserHints
The import file is processed sequentially.
The Special functions to delete a key and DELETE-ALL-RECORDS are provided where automated maintenance activities may required removal of a few existing user hints or the complete replacement of the entire UserHints database.
The MOMI Export to File function uses a multi-line separator that appears as the | character. This is internally encoded as a <#160><|><#160> where #160 is the ASCII value of a hard-space character.
