Defining a tool tip message on Table column label

In one of my earlier post, I explained how to define tool tip for Table Column Filter. In this post, I will explain how to define tool tip message/short description on a table column label.

- Select the column in the table for which you want to define tool tip.

- Expand Column facets node for that column and select header facet.

- Inside the header facet add an Output Text component and set it's value property same as column header text as shown:

 - The custom tool tip for the table column label can now be set on the shortDesc property of Output Text. After this modification, the column code looks like:

Defining a tooltip for Table filter column/field.

In one of my project I had a requirement to show tool tip/short description for a table column filter. In this post, I will explain how to define tool tip for table filter.

- Select the column in the table for which you want to define tool tip. 

- Expand Column facets node for that column and select filter facet. 

- Inside the filter facet insert an Input Text component and set it's value property to #{vs.filterCriteria.Summary}, where vs is the VarStatus property in the table and Summary is the attribute name. 

Setting this value, will query the column attribute, without customizing the filter component.

 - The custom tool tip for the table column filter can now be set on the shortDesc property of Input Text. After this modification, the column code looks like:
