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
- 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 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 :
- Under “Tooltip” drag the field which will be the link between the tooltip and your report (optional but recommended)
- Then, in “View” menu, set “Page view” to “Actual size”
- Select the visual where you want to add a tooltip
- 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
