@Tenecia.Seeley you need to enable field description on the page:

And then once the pop-up (Assistant) will open you will see the field descriptions. Just one remark here, from experience I can say that only a handful of field descriptions are available.

Below is an example of creating a Customer Order from a Business Opportunity. As you can see the field descriptions are available.

Is there any other place to go to get help on these fields if it's not populating using the field level description?

I don’t think there is help activated on all fields currently.  There are some we find have descriptions and some that don’t.  

Last I heard IFS were basically working their way through adding them??

Not sure if this is truth/rumour/conjecture/hope :-)
