Field Comments or Data Definition

[RichardSmith]

Hi, when you hover over fields in a straight table, it shows the contents or name of the field. Is it possible to show a more meaningful description of the data item or display the comment from the table metadata. I'm looking for a quick and easy way to  provide users with an accurate description of the data. We have raw data sheets containing lots of data items, however the field names can be similar or confusing.

The only other way I can think of solving this is to create a separate sheet in the app with a table showing field name, field definition which is loaded within the app.

Thanks

One way to provide more description about the chart data is to utilize 'Info icon', if you define your field as master dimension and measure as master measure, the description defined over there can be seen under info icon.

To show info icon, we need to check show details property -
