Mouseover text for touchscreen applications?

Ignition
1

Good day all,

I'm quite new to Ignition and have been playing around with Vision while I am waiting for official training next month.

One of the features I like a lot is the mouseover text option in the property editor for a lot of components. The only problem is a majority of the projects we will be making are going to be used on touch screens so there will not be a mouse equipped. Probably a dumb question since it's explicitly called "mouseover text" but is there another way to utilize a feature like this for touch screen applications?

Thanks!

I'm not aware of a way to show mouseover text on touch screens in Vision. We use tool tips in Perspective with display on tap to show sensor IDs, etc. on touch screens via requestTooltip method on components.
