# Tooltip Tab

The Advanced Tooltip Function is a powerful and versatile feature designed to augment your SuperTables dashboards. This function enriches your data exploration experience by providing interactive and customizable tooltips that can follow the mouse cursor or remain fixed. With a wide range of options for customization, it allows you to tailor the tooltips according to your specific needs and preferences.

Follow this guide to setup a tooltip: [How to make tool tips](/supertables/guides/how-to-make-tool-tips.md)

#### Tooltip limitations

Tooltips are supported in standard (non-pivot) table mode.

When **Pivot mode** is enabled, tooltips are **not available**. This is expected behavior because pivoting restructures the underlying data into dynamically generated cells, which no longer have a direct one-to-one mapping to the original Tableau rows required for tooltips.

When **Group mode** is enabled, tooltips work only on **expanded rows** in non-pivot mode. Tooltips are not shown on collapsed group rows.

If tooltips are required, we recommend using standard table mode or ensuring groups are expanded and Pivot mode is disabled.
