Tooltip Properties
Add a tooltip
- Drag a field to Tooltip on the Marks card.
- Click Tooltip on the Marks card to open the Edit Tooltip dialog box, add text, rearrange the tooltip contents and insert more fields.
Note: Dimensions are added to the tooltip using the ATTR aggregation, which means the tooltip may sometimes display as an asterisk. The asterisk indicates that there are multiple dimension members that apply to the mark pointing at. To avoid showing an asterisk, add the dimension to Detail on the Marks card or use it elsewhere in the view to ensure the marks at the same level of detail.
Tooltip Options
After opening the Edit Tooltip dialog box, there are several options that can be chosen from the format the tooltips in the view and configure their behaviour.
Format tooltips
- Tooltips are specified on a per-sheet basis and can be formatted using the tools on the top of the Edit Tooltip dialog box.
Adding dynamic text
- Use the Insert menu at the top of the dialog box to add dynamic text such as field values, sheet properties, and more. The All Fields command on the Insert menu adds all field names and values that are used in the view to the tooltip for any mark in the view.
Show tooltips
Tooltips are shown by default. To hide automatic tooltips, clear the Show Tooltips check box.

Show Commands
- Select the Include command buttons check box to add Keep only, Exclude, Group Members, Create Set and View Data buttons at the top of the tooltip. These command buttons are available both in Tableau Desktop and when the view is published to the web or viewed on a mobile device.
Add or remove fields
- To add and remove fields when using the automatic tooltip, right click the field on one of the shelves in the view and select Include in Tooltip.
Tooltips are details that appear when hover over one or more marks in the view. Tooltips are also convenient for quickly filtering or removing a selection, or viewing underlying data. Edit a tooltip to include both static and dynamic text and also modify which fields are included in a tooltip.
