Adding Tooltips to a Chart

Our new Dashboard feature is available upon request for the initial launch phase. Please contact your Customer Success Manager if you'd like to schedule implementation with our Services team.

Overview

Users can create Tooltips that appear as a pop-up when they hover their cursor over a Chart data point. By default, the Tooltip pop-up displays the same data used to generate each data point in the Chart. If the data point value for a specific bar in a Chart is 100, then the Tooltip will display 100 as well. Users can customize the data values displayed in the Tooltip by adding one or more Tooltip columns that map to other fields in the selected dataset.

Tooltips will appear on all Chart Types, excluding Tables, Crosstab, and Expanded Tables.
