alternative text to the visual object "Card"

[PabloSembaj]

Hi!
I need to add an alternative text to the visual object "Card", so that when the reader selects the object it gives him more information. I tried to add it from the "Alternative text" field as shown in the image, but I can't see it.
Can somebody help me?

Hi, @PabloSembaj 

It seems that you may have misunderstood the proper use of this feature.

Alt text (alternative text descriptions) are used to describe the appearance and function of visuals and images on the report page to screen reader users, It is for the ones who cannot see the visual, image, shape, or textbox.

If you want the report to display more information when the reader selects a visual object, using tooltips may be a worthwhile approach.

Hey @PabloSembaj ,

the alternate text is not very useful for what you want.

Try to add the dynamic text as title, that should bring you the result you want:

If you need any help please let me know.
