How to Personalize Tooltip Headings and Descriptions in Bold BI

Modifying the headings and descriptions in tooltips for widgets within the Bold BI designer can be achieved by editing the locale.js file. This file contains the localization settings for the application, and by changing the relevant entries, you can customize the tooltip headings and descriptions to suit your needs.

Steps to Modify Tooltip Headings and Descriptions

To update the tooltip headings and descriptions for various widgets, follow these steps:

1. Locate the locale.js File

The locale.js file can be found in the deployed location of the Bold BI application.

The path to this file depends on the operating system you are using:

• For Windows:

  C:\BoldServices\bi\dataservice\locale\en-us
  

• For Linux:

  /var/www/bold-services/application/bi/dataservice/locale/en-us
  

2. Edit the Widget Title Headings

For chart type widgets, you will need to modify two specific entries within the locale.js file to change the Widget Title heading content. Locate the highlighted contents in the file, which is available in the object widgetTitle and make the necessary changes.

3. Modify Other Widget Headings

For other widgets such as Grid, Map, and Filter widgets, you can edit the respective widget heading content within the locale.js file. Each widget type will have its own entries in a widgetTitle object that you can customize.

4. Update the Data Requirements Heading

If you need to change the Data Requirements heading, locate the corresponding variable in the widgetTitle object in the locale.js file and modify it as needed.

If you need to change the Widget Description, locate the corresponding variable in the widgetDescription object in the locale.js file and modify it as needed.

If you need to change the Widget Data Requirement Description, locate the corresponding variable in the widgetDataRequirements object in the locale.js file and modify it as needed. 5. Restart the Bold BI Application

Conclusion

By following these steps, you can easily customize the tooltip headings and descriptions in your Bold BI dashboards to better reflect the information being presented. Remember to save your changes and restart the application to ensure that your updates are displayed correctly.
