Title: Hover over / tool tips in a Dashboard
Post by: lots_of_questions on 19 Feb 2019 03:51:47 PM
Hi all,

Have a dashboard up and running... but trying to find how to add a tool tip to a simple summary.  I have the tool tips description in the FM package and it does display when I hover over the field name in the design mode.  Is there any way to have a hover over / tool tip in a Dashboard?    I'd like to show "Average days between Date A and Date B" or something like that as a hover over instead of using up limited real estate. 

I guess I could make it a drill through and load a description.... but yuck.  Any ideas?

For now I am just adding and Appendix tab at the end. 

I know the idea of dashboards are to be able to be used on a phone or tablet.... but 95% of the users here are still sitting at a PC or laptop.

Hover over tool tips would make things easier.

I agree completely. Mouse hover , tooltips of popup with other diagram inside depending where you move over are VERY necessary.
Any news about this?
