Title: Screen Tips in C8 Report Studio
Post by: gbahn on 26 Jun 2006 07:00:20 AM
I have been asked to create screen tips for select items in a crosstab Report Studio report.Ã,  I found documentation on how to do this for a list report in ReportNet, but cannot get it to work for C8.Ã,  Any suggestions?

Unlock your list item.

Add an HTML item before your data element, set the contents of the HTML item to:
<span title="Hover Text">
Where Hover Text is what you want to display when you mouse-over the data element (list item).

Then, add another HTML item just after the data element, set the contents of this to:
</span>

That's it.  You can also make the hover text use a query item to show dynamic data.  You can also apply this to a text item (just put the html items around the text item).

Cheers,

Mike
