Tooltips for visual title bar
Hello,
I want to be able to have users hover over the title bar for a slicer or visualisation and have a tooltip appear explaining what the visual is showing or what the slicer pertains to.
Currently to achieve this I need 3 elements;
- The slicer (or visual) with title turned off
- A textbox containing the title (send to back) positioned above the visual/slicer
- A transparent card positioned superimposed over the title textbox which is connected to the tooltip contents (tooltip page).
I also include an information icon on the title bar to indicate to users that a tooltip is present.
Ideally, I should be able to do this without the textbox and the card visual. Surely there is a sensible way to do this without all the extra run around? As you can imagine resizing/repositioning all of this is a headache, especially with all the intrusive popups that activate outside neighbouring visuals when hovering over elements. If there isn't as simpler way to achieve title bar tooltips, I will add it to the requested features list.
Thank you for your time.
Hi ShinyDeveloper You can use "Help Tooltip" icon. Here is how:
Select the visual > Go to properties > Turn on "Help Tooltip". See image below:
After that help tooltip option will reveal. Input your desired instruction for the user and you are done. See image:
By hovering mouse over the icon it will show tooltips. See images:
You can customize font and background color.
Hope this helps!!If this solved your problem, please accept it as a solution and a kudos!!

I you can just add some "i" / other button to the title to get a tooltip effect :According to the slicer with the new slicer, you can have tooltips even on the value level :
