    General → Tooltip = turns the tooltip ON/OFF and controls its settings.

    Tooltip field = lets you choose what extra information appears when you hover over a bar/column.

    Example:

    Your chart shows Sales.

    You can put Profit and Quantity in Tooltip → when you hover over Sales, you also see Profit and Quantity.

    So: General = control the tooltip; Tooltip field = add extra data
