How to change the Data panel properties hover over information

[Georgi Koemdzhiev]

I am trying to find out if it's possible to customise what gets shown when I hover over any of the properties inside the Data Panel (inside the Spotfire Analyst). The current behaviour is to show the name of the property itself but I would like to change it so it shows a description showing what the property means.

Hello,

 

What Spotfire version are you using I did a quick test in TIBCO Spotfire Analyst 10.0 and 10.3 LTS - in the latter (but not the former) if you have set a Column Description (in Column Properties, General tab), that is shown in the tooltip, as you can see illustrated below. So, it appears you'll likely need to upgradeto get this functionality (take a look here before planning your upgrade:https://docs.tibco.com/pub/spotfire/general/LTS/spotfire_LTS_releases.htm)

 

 

 

Best Regards

Thank you, Fredrik. Yes, we are using Spotfire 10.0.0. That explains why I can't see the "Description" field upon hover over. Can I ask if in 10.3 LTS I will be able to see the "Description" field upon hover on the WebPlayer as well 

 

Thanks again!

Hi Georgi,

 

Thank you for confirming that. Yes, it's available in the Web Player (in the Editing mode, aka Business Author) as well - see example below:
