Tooltip

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

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

   The Tooltip widget is displayed.

   

   If the UI widget does not display, it may be because you used a ready-made app, which deletes unused widgets from the module. To make additional widgets available in your app:

   a. Go to Module > Manage dependencies.

   b. Search for and select the relevant Producer, for example OutSystemsUI. Ensure Show All is selected.

   c. On the Public elements for the selected Producer displayed on the right, ensure Show All is selected.

   d. Search for and select the element you want to add, and click Apply.

   e. In Service Studio, in the Toolbox, search for the widget again.

2. 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.

3. 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.

   

4. 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.
