Help in webYaST

Currently there is no explicit "help" concept in webYaST.
One reason is that usability studies showed that users often find "Help" quite unhelpful and the other reason is that it is our aim to create an UI which is so simple and self-explanatory that "Help" becomes superflous.
If you want to give the user detailled information about a setting use either prefilled input fields or a short explanatory text below the settings label.
Do not use "help" icons, pop ups or similar stuff. These will breake the otherwise clear and easy webYaST layout and the ease of it`s user experience.
Try to make the wording of a setting as easy and self-descriptive as possible.
