Tooltip Object Generation and Management 

Use

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

Features

You are able to make the following settings for tooltip objects:

·        Get tooltip object
