General

A tooltip, infotip, or hint can be configured with all the fields type. With the help of this feature, a portal administrator now has more flexibility to configure an information bubble. The existing tooltip object now has placement, iconName, and iconSize properties. Tooltips with the placement as label and below are shown for all field types. Tooltips with the placement as inline are shown for all fields with a text field look.

Note:

  • All the parameters for 'tooltip" objects can be configured globally as well as by passing values directly from the JSON editor.

  • With the Portal 4.3 release, the tooltip is also visible when the components are configured as non-editable or read-only in a list or card view.

  • With the Portal 4.5 release, you can also use the format property along with the label and tooltip.
