[feature request] extend tooltip content

Open rchevallier opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

Currently the tooltip of a visual object presents only the name and type.

The feature request is to present also:

  • the label instead of the name
  • the specialization, if there is one
  • the documentation if there is one

If possible, the choice of fields to show in the tooltip shall be a preference

Objective would be see the most important information simply by hovering over elements :

  • if the size doesn't allow it,
  • and/or being able to read the description when the the view is maximized (used in meeting to show model views to an audience)

Exemple: using the work package size in this view as an indication of the workload, so some info is truncated image

That's an interesting idea. I'll investigate...

It's technically possible. So we need to design it.

Current behaviour for a tooltip on an ArchiMate diagram element:

  1. First line is name of element in bold
  2. Second line is type of element

Current behaviour for a tooltip on an ArchiMate diagram connection:

  1. First line is name of relationship in bold
  2. Second line is type of relationship
  3. Third line explains the relationship, e.g. "A flows to B"

We should keep current behaviour and add options for any new behaviour. How would this look?
