You can use the Tooltip UI Pattern to dynamically display informative text when a user hovers over, clicks, or taps an on-screen element.

How to use the Tooltip UI Pattern

In Service Studio, in the Toolbox, search for Tooltip.

The Tooltip widget is displayed.
To From the Toolbox, drag the Tooltip widget into the Main Content area of your application's screen.

By default, the Tooltip widget contains Widget and Content placeholders.
Add your content to the placeholders.

In this example, we add a Save button to the Widget placeholder and enter the tooltip text 'Save your details' in the Content placeholder.
On the Properties tab, change the look and feel of the Tooltip by setting the (optional) properties.

After following these steps and publishing the module, you can test the pattern in your app.
