Does Cognos 8.2 have the capability to mouse over a data field to allow a field definition to appear?
For instance, excel has a note indicator that signals to the user that there is a note or text item that is displayed if you hover over the cell. I am interested in adding a similar capability in my Cognos report design to help non-frequent data users to understand what they are looking at.
If this is a functionality, then please describe how it is done (i.e. Toolbox, etc.).bonniewade1
