    I've added vis on vis tooltips to CogBox premium which should cover this request. When you hover over a datapoint, the specified widget will reposition and filter itself to match the data items and local filters.

    I agree that this is necessary. I'm trying to explain to clients who are ready to move away from Cognos to Tableau that the latest Cognos Dashboarding capabilities are very similar to Tableau. However, not having dynamic, customizable tooltips like Tableau offers, can be a decisive factor

    This is one of the key missing feature in CA that all major competing toolsets have supported for years.

    Adding any other chart or additional attribute information as tool Tip will be useful for keeping Dashboard making more useful.
