Expose Semantic Layer Descriptions in Chart Tooltips

What is the problem or goal the end user is trying to solve or accomplish?

The user wants pre-defined metric descriptions from the semantic layer to be visible in the tooltips of charts on dashboards. Currently, this metadata is only available when hovering over metrics in the chart builder, making it inaccessible to dashboard viewers. The goal is to provide end users with better context and clarity on what each metric represents without requiring them to access the chart builder.

How are they solving it currently?

There is no direct way to expose these descriptions in tooltips. Users may try workarounds like manually adding explanations in chart titles, labels, or markdown components, but this is not dynamic and can be cumbersome to maintain.

What is the recommended solution by the Customer?

The customer suggests displaying semantic layer descriptions within the tooltips of charts so that dashboard viewers can see metric definitions without needing access to the chart builder. This would improve transparency and ease of understanding for all dashboard users
