Title: Mouse hover In Dashboard
Post by: Pratap Reddy on 09 Jan 2018 03:50:05 AM
Hi,

I have a requirement where i need to get hover(tool tip just like in tableau)

Example :

I have a data item with a data( Description), but the Description is too large of almost 100characters..

I have created a Calculation field with Substring(Data item,1,5)

It is displaying first five characters in Data item in displaying and hovering

Displaying is perfect.

Is there any chance to get entire description while hovering on particular data item?

Concept:

I have is a data item with 100characters.

while displaying - 5characters

hovering - 100characters(entire data item description)


Is it possible?


Thanks in Advance.

Here's a very short and concise answer. No :)

Sorry - dashboards don't support this currently. Are you sure you are using the right tool? The target audience for dashboards is business users doing data discovery, so the formatting options are deliberately simple. If you want to author something to distribute to them, use a report instead - you have infinitely more control over how things get displayed, presented, laid out etc.

Cheers!
