Try this

1. Right click on the chart embedded inside the layout container

2. Choose 'edit properties'

3. Turn on the 'tool tips' option

 

 

 

 

Leave 'edit' mode

 

Click on the chart to activate it then hover over the bars.

 

Kind regards..

Hi @Frank_S Thanks for your reply but I am asking for the below highlighted feature inside the layout container, you suggested me the tooltip. Do you have any idea how to enable this-

I see. In that case, note the following:


https://help.qlik.com/en-US/cloud-services/Subsystems/Hub/Content/Sense_Hub/Visualizations/Dashboard...

A layout container can hold a range of visualizations while occupying a small amount of space on a sheet. When expanded to full sheet, each chart expands as well.

 

Therefore it is working as designed. There is no available configuration option to change this behavior to meet your requirement. Otherwise, keep a copy of your chart outside the layout container if you need to expand your chart exclusively (which you have already discovered in your experience).

If you feel you need to see your specific requirement included in the product, please feel free to submit your feature request here:

Or simply consider using the 'Container' object as it seems to more closely align with your 'fullscreen' chart requirement.

Hi!

If the "Show hover menu" feature isn't available in object or container settings, you might consider, as a workaround I know, using alternate navigation options, such as buttons or dropdowns, to allow users to zoom or focus on specific charts.

 

regards,

Diego

Hi @sumitk

Did you put this in as a feature request? 
If so is there a way I can 'vote' for it as it's something we would really appreciate to get working.
It seems you lose a lot of functionality for an object as soon as it's in a container including the hover menu and not able to view data, download, as well as expand the object to full screen.

thanks
Julie
