Today, we’re announcing sheet tooltips in Amazon Quick Sight. Dashboard authors can now design custom tooltip layouts using free-form layout sheets. These layouts combine charts, key performance indicator (KPI) metrics, text, and other visuals into a single tooltip that renders dynamically when readers hover over data points. Sheet tooltips work with most chart types, including tables and pivot tables, and authors can reuse the same tooltip sheet across multiple visuals for a consistent experience. With this feature, you have more control over how contextual information appears, and you can create richer data storytelling without requiring readers to navigate away from the visual they’re exploring.

This feature uses a dedicated tooltip sheet type with a free-form layout, giving you the flexibility to arrange visual components exactly how you want. The tooltip sheet supports up to 5 visuals and filters data dynamically based on the data point you hover over.

The following walkthrough demonstrates how to set up a sheet tooltip using a sales dashboard as an example. You can apply the same approach to any use case. Simply substitute the visuals and metrics that are relevant to your data.

Let’s take an example to create a sales-focused sheet tooltip with three visuals. You can replace these with any visuals and metrics that suit your use case.
