QPR Element Tooltips

Overview

Purpose of the element tooltips add-on is to show textual data stored in an (EA/PD) element, when a cursor is moved on top of the element, as illustrated by image 1. The element tooltips feature is implemented as a portal customization. The feature is configurable, so that it can be defined which properties (attributes) are shown in the tooltip. If value of a property is empty, it’s shown in the element tooltip. If element doesn’t contain the property at all, that property is not shown in the tooltip. This is the case when the tooltip is configured to show a property of certain type of elements, that another type of elements don’t have. Properties can also be configured by element type if further customization is needed. Element specific configuration overrides the global configuration.

Configuration parameters

The customization contains the following parameters to adjust the behavior of the add-on.

TOOLTIP PROPERTIES contains a list of attributes that is shown by the tooltip. The list order determines the order in the tooltip. The first attribute in the list is the header attribute (shown bolded as a tooltip title). Each item in the list have the following properties:File:Testi.PNG
