Configuring Tooltips

Tooltips are small pop-up windows that provide brief information describing for many forms, buttons, table headings and entries. These Tooltips display when you hover your mouse over a UI element. Some UI elements have a small triangle after the element; hovering your mouse over the triangle displays the tooltip.

 
* 
NOTE: Not all UI elements have Tooltips. If a Tooltip does not display after hovering your mouse over an element for a couple of seconds, you can safely conclude that it does not have an associated Tooltip.

The behavior of Tooltips is configured in the Web Management Settings section.

Tooltips are enabled by default. To disable Tooltips, uncheck the Enable Tooltip check box.

The duration of time before Tooltips display can be configured:

•
Form Tooltip Delay - Duration in milliseconds before Tooltips display for forms (boxes where you enter text). The default value is 2000 milliseconds.
•
Button Tooltip Delay - Duration in milliseconds before Tooltips display for radio buttons and check boxes. The default value is 3000 milliseconds.
•
Text Tooltip Delay - Duration in milliseconds before Tooltips display for UI text. The default value is 500 milliseconds.
