Tooltip ‐ Reportpage - Profitbase/PowerBI-visuals-Gantt GitHub Wiki

The Gantt visual supports using custom Power BI report pages as tooltips. When report consumers hover over a row in the data grid or timeline, the custom tooltip page will display, automatically filtered to the specific task they are highlighting.


How to Enable Report Page Tooltips

Step 1: Configure your custom tooltip page

Before linking the page to your Gantt chart, ensure your target report page is configured to act as a tooltip. Under the formatting options for the report page itself, navigate to Page Information and toggle Allow use as tooltip to On.
