Context help on VM Policy Settings would really help customer understanding, and reduce calls to support.

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

I had to explain Memory Increase recommendations in detail last week - and a lot of the confusion was a lack of understanding of the scaling constraints. It would have been really helpful to drive home concepts with context help. Either the letter  i with a short help description or a link to the relevant area in the documentation.

E.g.  Rate of Resize: 2.0. 

When resizing resources for a VM, Turbonomic calculates the optimal values for VMem, VCPU and VStorage. But it does not necessarily make a change to that value in one action. Turbonomic uses the Rate of Resize setting to determine how to make the change in a single action. Read More here - https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/tarm/8.7.6?topic=prem-vm-policies 

I spend a LOT of time explaining these setting to customers so please prioritize these.
