Specifying Tooltips for Members

Specifying Tooltips for Members

When a user hovers the cursor near a member name in the Analyzer, the system displays a tooltip. By default, the member name is the tooltips. You can specify additional information to display in these tooltips for any level. To do so:

  1. Add a property to that level. For the source value, use a value that contains the desired tooltips.

  2. In Studio, edit the cube definition and modify the newly added property. For this property, specify the isDescription attribute as "true". See <property> in Reference Information for Cube Classes.

    Now the tooltip is the member name, followed by a hyphen, followed by the value of the specified property. For example:

    The Product Name column of a pivot table, showing the tooltip for Onion Ring, which also includes the SKU number.

This is useful when you want to use short member names, for reasons of space, but also need to provide a fuller description of each member.
