Is there a way to show additional information for objects?

BarryP — Tue, 09 Jun 2020 20:37:29 GMT

Hi,

I have a bunch of objects that I'd love for the user to be able to hover over and see the definitions for certain items. In the past I've always provided this in a separate tab.

Is there another way that this can be done?

Thanks!

Which version are you using?

When you say "objects," do you mean hover over a bar chart and see a text description of what the chart is conveying? or something else. Can you provide an example of the type of extra information you want to see.

How can I find the version? It's got the menus on the right side of the screen with little burger dots above them (...). If I open one, it shows (>>) to close. I can also drag the menus around.

Sorry that isn't ideal, but I looked all over for the version and can't find it.

Hello,

Click the user button right top corner in the application bar, and select About.

Br,

VERSION:

8.5

Release V.03.05

I was wondering if there is a feature that could show information like a definition or a note like "Values only include devices registered into the service portal." Or is that something that needs to be displayed in a text box somewhere else in the tab or in a different tab.

Thanks!

Hi Barry,

Putting this information in a text object on the same page is probably the best approach. If there is a lot of information, you could put a link in text object that would go to another page for details. This could be a hidden page, which will act as a pop-up window when the user clicks the link.
