Question about Tooltip

So here is my question. I have a table and i want to show other secondary important informations from another table with tooltip. Its working great, but sometimes the information from the tooltip shows up in front of the main table and this is not working for me. I want to know if there is something to use instead of tooptip or if there is some way to trigger the tooltip manually. Thanks.

Hi @Anonymous 

You can use the Drill through function , when you need to show other secondary important information from another table , you can right click and choose the Drill through to another page .

@Anonymous Perhaps you could disable the tooltips and instead go with a buttons and bookmarks approach?
