This gives you access to Siavak’s popup component. Let’s go to Test and add your community visualisation section and enter the following Manifest path from Siavak: Since the tooltip component is not yet available publicly through Data Studio, we’ll need a different approach. Next, go to Community Visualizations → Explore more → Build your own visualisation. To add tooltip annotations to your own dashboard, start by entering Edit mode in Google Data Studio. This helps us to save space on the report page and only present the information when the viewer wants to see that information.Īdding the Tooltip/Popup Component to Your Google Data Studio The second part is the popup that only gets visible when we hover over the icon on the knob section. And this Tooltip/Popup component has two parts.įirst is the knob or the icon, which is visible all the time. When you hover over this icon, it can provide additional information about the table.Īnother sign that is used often is the Help sign.Īgain, when you hover over it, it will pop up with some text in it. This is where the tooltip annotation comes in! Check out this yellow “Attention” icon: This information is useful if we know what it means, but it can be kind of difficult to make sense of without any context. Let’s say that we have a table that shows the conversion rates for website landing pages. Tooltips can be used to display the definition or formula of a metric or show details about an actionable icon. They display additional information for the component, and they’re a great way to create meaningful yet decluttered data visualizations. Tooltips are a user interface element that pops up when you hover over a component on the screen. It may take a minute or two for the left/right scroll at the bottom of the map appear.Why You Need Tooltip Annotations on Your Google Data Studio Dashboard You can easily embed your own Google Map by selecting Link to this Page at the top right hand corner of the page. You are also able to zoom and switch over from road maps to satellite images and a hybrid of the two. You can click on the annotations and read information about each place and see a picture of most of them. Example of an Annotated Google Mapīelow I have embedded my annotated Google Map of Hawaii. I do not want my locations in Hawaii to be on my map about Washington, DC. For example, I am creating a map of Hawaii but I might also have a map of landmarks in Washington, DC. If all of your maps are selected then the placemark will be added to all of them. *If you have more than one map on your account make sure you only have the maps you want the placemark to show up on selected. Title the placemarker and add a description. A placemark will appear with a dialogue box.

I had to search for the general area of Green Sand Beach on Google then I used the satellite images and the road map provided by Google Maps to find the beach. Green Sand beach is well off the beaten bath and does not have an address, nor is it a legal, proper name for the place. For example, I tried annotating Green Sand Beach on The Big Island in Hawaii. You may meet a problem if Google Maps does not recognize a name of a place but only an address. To add more annotations simply search for a location and let Google Maps find it for you. That is your first placemark that allows you to annotate your map.

It will give you the choice of making your map public or unlisted. Then you will be asked to title your map name it something that all the students will be able to recognize (such as The United States or USA). Select Save to My Maps and choose Create a new map. In the dialogue box that connects to the green arrow you will find several options.
It could be as large or as small as you want (the whole Earth or just Raleigh). Zoom in or out until the area you will need is completely in view. It works best if you search an area first.
