Create custom graphic tool tips that display a given data discovery or presentation when hovering over a specified measure in a selected visualization. The report displayed in the tool tip is filtered by the given data point in the current query. The target visual and the tool tip visual can come from different data models. This is a great way to add more context and information to your data discovery. 

For instance, you can make it easy to glean the sales pipeline by supplementing, say, a Sales by Salesperson query from the Sales model with a tool tip showing Opportunities by Salesperson from the CRM. 

Or take Cost by Product from the Sales model, and in the visual tool tip, show the percentage of wastage during production from the Manufacturing model.
