How to create tooltip/dropdown on a table column?

aru949 — Wed, 16 Nov 2022 06:13:10 GMT

I am creating a table using a search query. I want to show the details of that column value using a dropdown or tooltip (when hovering) over it. For example,

Suppose that table has a column Test and has a value PT. When I click on PT it should expand and display Physical Training or when I hover over it, it should show the complete name. Is it possible to to do?

For dropdown, you should go with the same approach as tooltip.

Let me know in case you need any further help.

Hi @kamlesh_vaghela ,
I tried all these approaches but none of them seem to work for me.

Please explain how each approach did not work for you? What is different about your usecase?

I'm not able to see the tooltips even after replicating the dashboards and js files provided here. I'm using Splunk version 9.
