Tooltip

A tooltip is a short, explanatory text which appears when "hovering" a mouse over a button, a link, a table cell heading or icon without clicking it.

Tooltips are available throughout the system and they give additional information about an action before performing it. Tooltips are provided for buttons, links, icons, and table header cells. These tooltips are not configurable. However, for screening services, the system administrator can create tooltips for some types of user-defined fields.
