screentips for reports in Cognos Analytics 11.0.7

[Hardik Binnani]

Hi All,

I want to apply screen tips on my reports when I hover over them in Cognos 11.0.7. But I am not able to find that option. Is this feature discontinued in this version of Cognos?

Thank you,
Hardik Binnani

What type of layout container are you using? Visualizations and charts often have a property to show or hide tooltips. Is this what you are referring to?

Hi Lynn,

Thanks for replying.

Actually, my requirement is to show some text when the user hovers over the report name in portal. This was possible in Cognos 10. Please find the attached image for reference. It is from Cognos 10.2

Oh, now I see what you are referring to! Good question. I see only description in the properties and it doesn't come up when you hover over the report name. Might be worth creating an RFE for this functionality as I don't recall seeing that listed as a request for enhancement.

IBM has removed this feature of screen tips in Cognos Analytics. I had created a ticket where they provided this information.
