Cause

  • The issue was raised to Engineering as a product enhancement and will be fixed in a future release

Resolution

  • As a recent enhancement this option is available at the moment in some Employee Profile portlets such as Personal Information, Talent Information, Job Information, Badge, Work Experience, Functional Experience, Formal Education, etc. and can be configured from Configure People Profile.
  • This only refers to the block text, and is not the EC helptext, which is a seperate feature
  • To configure EC Help Text, please follow the People Profile configuration guide

  • Engineering is working on an enhancement to add this functionality to other portlets in People Profile in a future release
  • Currently there is no estimated availability date for this enhancement
  • The issue can be tracked internally under JIRA: EDU-8395 and ECT-56868
