Advanced Tooltip
The Advanced Tooltip Plugin allows designers to add additional data points to a widget’s tooltip, even if the values are not present on the widget itself, delivering related data seamlessly within the tooltip.
The Advanced Tooltip keeps charts clean while delivering deeper value. Instead of overwhelming users with on-screen data, tooltips surface context only when it's needed—improving readability, reducing clutter, and enabling faster decision-making.
Release Notes for the Advanced Tooltip can be found here.
