Dashboards & Visualizations

Tooltip for multiple fields

Hello,

I am a novice a javascript and need to perform the following.

Apply tooltips to several fields in a dashboard table. I have seen various answers on combining the two fields into one and using a "|" to separate and hide the other field. While this does work, I have 2 issues with it.

1) As mentioned, I need to use this on more than a single cell. For example. The table will display the user's current email address. We need a tooltip that will display the original email they entered when they subscribed. The same requirement is needed for phone, address, and several other fields.

2) Because the above uses a hidden field and the "|", I need to remove those when the user downloads the table into a csv file. While I believe I could use post-processing, and tabs to control the running of searches to create the csv (still learning that one), I would like to know if there is a simpler way.

Also, as a novice js user, what sites can you recommend so I can start writing and implementing my own js in Splunk? Is all js functionality available in Splunk? Is there a Splunk doc that instructs how to use js? I'm checking out a how-to on js and they use let and const. I see Splunk uses var amongst other syntax.

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Teach a man to fish....

God bless,
Genesius
