Card Browser 2.0 Visual Tooltip Toggle?

I'm using the Card Browser 2.0.0 (CardBrowser8D7CFFDA2E7E400C9474F41B9EDBBA58) add-in visual and so far it's working great.  The only issue I'm running into is I can't seem to turn off the Tooltips.  Typically I find this setting under the General tab near the bottom for other visuals but this one doesn't seem to have it.

Does anyone know of a way to get the tooltip to not pop up when I'm hovering over these cards?

Hi @Erob85 ,

Thank you for engaging with the Microsoft Fabric Community.Thank you for the clarification and screenshots. What you're seeing in the Card Browser 2.0.0 visual is not a typical Power BI tooltip but a built in text overflow reveal feature. This feature activates when a value, such as a long Document ID, doesn't fit within the visuals space.

 

Currently, there no option to disable this behavior, as its hardcoded to improve text visibility. Unlike other visuals with a Tooltip toggle under General settings, the Card Browser visual doesn't offer a way to turn it off.

 

To minimize this effect, you could increase the card size or font size to reduce overflow and prevent the hover behavior. Alternatively, switching to a custom visual like  Multi-row card  might give you more control over hover interactions.

I hope this helps clarify things.. Did I answer your question? Mark my post as a solution.

This is where I would have expected to see the tooltips toggle.  Is that where it's showing up for you?  I am currently populating data values into the Document ID, Preview, and Content fields.

but is it possible to add a picture with toltip being displayed

This is what the tooltip looks like when I just add dummy data into the Content fieldThis is what the tooltip looks like when I just add dummy data into the Content field

Well that is not tooltip exactly , It sounds like you're referring to a feature in Power BI that automatically highlights or displays the full content of a field when the string is too long to fit within the visual. This can be really useful for ensuring that all data is visible without needing to manually adjust the visuals.


if this helps please accept this as solution

This is the native Card visual in PBI.  Now that I look at them side by side I can see there is a slight difference.  They seem to have a similar purpose but this does explain that technically the Card Browser version isn't a "Tooltip".

That said, I guess I'm still looking for a way to turn off this overflow/highlight feature?
