By default, a tooltip text is formed from names of elements selected in visualizer data source dimensions.

To edit a tooltip text:

Generate a tooltip text in the appropriate box. The text can be arbitrary.

The specified tooltip text is displayed on pointing a mouse cursor to a visualizer element.

To insert values of various templates into the tooltip text:

Click the Add button and in the menu that opens select a template or a metric, which value should be inserted into a tooltip. The following groups are available:

Templates. Standard tooltip templates based on metric values.
