Grid
Tooltips
When the value in a grid cell is not completely visible in the Records grid or in the Record Detail grid, you can get MDM to display a pop-up tooltip by resting the mouse pointer over the value.
In fact, there are two kinds of grid tooltips that MDM uses to display the entire value or values that appear in the cell:
Yellow
A yellow block tooltip pops up, as shown in the figure below.


For a multi-valued field/attribute with multiple record selection, MDM separate each set of multiple values with a dotted line.
White
A white horizontal tooltip pops up to extend the visible value outside the bounds of the grid cell, as shown in the following figure.


MDM also uses the white horizontal tooltip when values are not completely visible not only in grid cells but also in lists and trees.
The circumstances when MDM use each type of tooltip are summarized in the following table.
