hover/tool tip on an universe object name

Hi, I have a requirement to display a hover text(tool tip) on column titles in a report. This I have accomplished with a html syntax on a column title.

Now the requirement is to have a similar functionality defined on an univere object for a re-usability. And I am sure we cannot write a html code on a universe object Name.  Is there any workaround to accomplish this? Please let me know  your thoughts.

thanks

Manan

Hi..

I worked for tool tip for below scenario..

Mat ID      Mat Description

121            www.google.com

143            www.scn.sap.com

420           www.facbook.com

In the Mat description data (which we need to display as tool tip) have maintained in the at DB level for each Mat ID....

so we used same field in the universe and created dimensions.

And then used same dimensions in the WebI report and displaying as tool tip.

Mat ID   

121

143

420

In your case, if possible provide one example for better understanding...

Hello Sreenivasulu, thanks for your reply, but my requirement is to display a tooltip on the column headers(Mat ID),

>Eg: Mat ID is a dimension object in the universe and what I need is when user drag and drop  the MatID into the report and hover over the column(MatID) title it should display a tool tip.

Mat ID <-tool tip display on Mat ID

--------

121

143

420


We are trying to give user a descriptive information on each object title in a tool tip

Thanks

Hi

Create a variable with the below (similar) formula:

="<a href=\""+[Mat Description]+"\" title=\""+[Mat Description]+"\" target=\"_blank\" nav=\"web\">" + [Mat ID] +"</a>"

Place the newly created variable in the desired cell on the report.
