ToolTip on Row heading

Brendan Broughton

It would be good if there was a way to get a tooltip to show on the Row heading column.

 

There are times where the tooltip to be displayed relates to the entire row and not just a particular block, in these instances it would be very useful to have the tooltip show on the row heading/entity.

 

At the moment the only options I am aware of are to put the tooltip on a single block/column (which can be somewhat misleading), put it on every block/column (which is a bit ugly/overkill), or show the cube containing the tooltip as a separate 'narrow' column so the comment will display on hover (which even with an alert to highlight the presence of a comment isn't as tidy).

 

And while we're at it, the ability to control the colour of the tooltip triangle would be great too.

Thank you for sharing your idea, Brendan. We appreciate the time and effort you put into crafting your suggestion. Great news, this feature is available from the 2021 summer release with the Column Header Underline enhancements.

Thanks, but I'm not sure if you have sent the correct link/reference. I don't see how the ability to UNDERLINE a COLUMN HEADING (as per the link you provided) has any relation to what I suggested above about TOOLTIPS on ROW HEADINGS.

A tool tip is generally a text description, driven by a block in the layout. An underline is just a format. They aren't even close to the same thing, and columns and rows also are quite different.
