Is it possible to display supplementary information such as tooltips for each column in a table object or each item in a filter list?
This currently is not possible in the Object Table and Filter List widgets. It will take extra work, but you can experiment with using a new button group widget placed appropriately in your Workshop module. What I’ve done in the past was:
- add the button group widget
- remove the text (i.e., ‘Button’ is the placeholder)
- add the Info tooltip icon
- write out the text I want as supplementary info in the Description text box of the button
- change the display & formatting of the widget to be Text Only
- no on-click behavior
This would definitely be annoying if you want to do this for every column you display from an Object Table widget

Hello, if your final goal is to document properties with a tooltips/popover you can add a description in Object Type editor (Ontology Manager) but there is disadvantages:
- it only works on table headers (properties name is underlined if a description exist), and it desn’t work on filter list properties
- it display only inline text without formating (what I really regret) –> @Palantir team: is there a project to enhence this ?
But, maybe you would like to add a popover that change for each cells of a table or some thing more dynamic ?

Hello.
It’s now displayed in the table header.
As you said, it would be nice if there was more freedom in configuring it.
Thank you!
That’s a great trick! It’s true that it can be difficult to set up as the amount increases.
Thank you!
Descriptions on buttons recently added variable support as well - this could let you dynamically associate a ‘tooltip’ property on the object with each row as the user moves through the table.
