Add a tooltip page in your report

A really efficient way to get immediately more insights is to use a tooltip page in your report. I consider it is a good practice if you don’t abuse of it. The content of the tooltip may be static or dynamic depending on the value which is hovered.

How to add a tooltip page in your report

First, create a new page and hide it

Then, go to the “Format” tab of the “Visualizations” pane :

Under 'Page information' select 'Tooltip'

Under “Page information” select “Tooltip”

Under “Page size” select “Custom” type and set width & height (ie 600 & 300). It is not recommended to make the tooltip too big

Go to the “Fields” tab of the “Visualizations” pane :

drag tooltip fields here to add a tooltip page in your report

Under “Tooltip” drag the field which will be the link between the tooltip and your report (optional but recommended)

In 'View' menu, set 'Page view' to 'Actual size' to add a tooltip page in your report

Then, in “View” menu, set “Page view” to “Actual size”

Select the visual where you want to add a tooltip

Activate 'Tootltip' to add tooltip page in your report

In “Format” tab of “Visualizations” pane : activate “Tooltip”
Finally, under “Tooltip”:
- set “Type” to “Report page”
- set “Page” to “Auto” or select the tooltip page

As a result, the tooltip will popup each time you will hover the visual
