Spotfire Ideas Portal
Currently tooltips are difficult to use effectively in Spotfire BUT essential in value adding to the users experience. If you allowed a user to set up a tooltip with some base options like: hover-over : true/false; follow-mouse: true/false; style-tooltips: either using css OR options for background-color, font size, border, shadow-effect, etc.
Then allow the user to add individual tooltips almost like individual text areas/calculated values where-by the can specify formatting ie. $; numbers, percentages. You need to be able to allow users to add a link in the tooltip and where hover-over is set to true - users can embed links to documents; other pages or action item control links for triggering other outcomes.
This is a major feature present in Tableau and also something common to simple web apps - please PLEASE fix this one... it is a huge value add!
Here is an example of what Spotfire is competing with in terms of tooltips: https://public.tableau.com/s/gallery/olympic-games-candidates ... Spotfire is a superior product to the one in this link BUT jee they have awesome tooltip functionality!
this one number 1 priority for me
We almost went with another product because we use tool tips alot in our other applications and they were/are just terrible as-is. This would be an amazing enhancement. Also - please set it up so that there isn't a processing lag with every tool tip as there is in Spotfire 7.0.1 ... the lag drives our users crazy!
