Turn off the tooltips

[mpurrington]

We just upgraded to 7.1 from 5. In the web interface for Item Tracking, there is a tooltip that pops up every time I try to change one of the fields. Is there a way to turn this off? It requires a "click-out" and slows the process down significantly. I don't need the system to explain to me what a milestone is every time I click into the field.

What browser and version are you using?

[mpurrington]

From what I can see - it's intended functionality and occurs in all browsers, I see it in the latest versions of Chrome, FF, and IE11.

Specifically, when I am on the detail page for a bug (any item), I click the pencil to edit the Status, I get a dropdown, when I click the arrow for the dropdown, I get a tooltip below that says "Current state of this item." The tooltip covers the field below it, and it does not disappear when I select a status, I have to click a second time elsewhere to get it to disappear. It makes it very difficult to rapidly go through and change fields. I'm asking if there is a way to just turn these off since they really don't offer any information for someone who has used vault before.

OK, maybe this is actually a bug and not just my preference.

I noticed when I ADD a new item, the tooltips work better. When I click on the dropdown I still get the tooltip below it, but then when I select an item from the drop down, the tooltip disappears immediately. However, when I am EDITING an existing item, it works as I described in my previous post, the tooltip doesn't disappear until you click somewhere else.

Again, if I could just turn these tooltips off, I would be satisfied with that as a solution.

And just an FYI, we are running Version 7.1.0.32028.

Thanks for the feedback! I've logged work item 17567 to address your concerns. We'll review it for inclusion in a future release of Vault.

The "popup" tooltip functionality can be commented out in the Core.js file.

Open the <VaultProServerDirectory>/Scripts/Core.js file on your server machine in an editor and comment out the following code (toward the bottom of the file):

Code: Select all

//make html titles look like nice tooltips
 $(document).tooltip({
        show: { delay: 1000 }
  });

So above would change it to:

Code: Select all

//make html titles look like nice tooltips
/* $(document).tooltip({
        show: { delay: 1000 }
 });*/

If you comment out the above code, the popup tooltips will display as regular html titles.

Skadoosh.

Perfect, exactly what I wanted to do. Thank you.

Glad that worked for you!
