Providing Tooltips

Tooltips allow you to define short help texts for various elements of the ALV output:

• By default, the tooltip texts are visible when the user hovers the mouse pointer briefly above a column.

• For physically-impaired, in particular blind or visually-impaired users, the tooltip texts are read aloud with help of Screen Reader technology.

You are able to define tooltips for the following elements of your ALV output:

• For column headers

• For functions in the application toolbar

• For colors, exceptions and symbols

• For elements in the design object

Depending on the element for which you want to define a tooltip, you proceed differently.

You are able to make the following settings for tooltips:

• Tooltip Object Management and Generation for Colors, Exceptions, and Symbols

• Generating Tooltips for Column Headers

• Generating Tooltips for Functions

• Generating ToolTips for Icons and Symbols

• Generating Tooltips for Elements in the Design Object
