Display text on hover over

Hi all,


I have a number of buttons set up in a report and what I want to do is when you hover over each button a text box or a shape or a card will display a short description for what that button does. 

Is this possible to do and if so how?

 

Thanks

@Ben1981 ,

Based on the hover-over behavior it may not be feasible. However, you can still display information on the card visual. For that, you'll need appropriate names like "Link 1," "Link 2" in the table.

@Ben1981 ,

Are you using page navigator opitons or blank buttons for actions?

So I have a blank buttons that uses the action for web url. I want to make so when I hover over the button a text box or a card or something else where on my page will give a short description. 

I use a table that has links and descriptions all ready so I have something a measure can reference but I just don't know how to get another object to do something when you hover over something else.

@Ben1981 ,

Why don't you try tooltip option?

Not much to show really other than this is the kind of look I'm going for...

Two buttons and a central large box to display a detailed description. The user would hover over each button and a description will appear in the box.
