Generating and Managing Tooltip Objects
You are able to assign the tooltip objects to the following elements:
-
Symbols
-
Exceptions
-
Colors of cells
You use tooltip objects when the element to which the tooltip belongs can appear multiple times: to ensure that the same tooltip text is displayed every time, when an element is displayed assign a specific tooltip object to the element.
The color green always means Released . In order to always display exactly this text as tool tip when a row is green, assign the appropriate tooltip to the color.
The tooltip object contains the following information:
-
The type of tooltip object (that is for which element the tooltip can be sued)
-
The indicator for the element
-
The text that is displayed as tooltip
You are able to make the following settings for tooltip objects:
-
