A good idea came in from our sales team today. One of the elements that can confuse new users is not having the ability to provide a description against the dimension when performing a query. For example we could have a grey dimension box called “Channel”, to the uninitiated this could be confusing, what would be great is if in the DB designer we could add a description which would appear as a tooltip when hovering over the dimension as a mock up I can see it working like this:
Great idea!
The same goes for other elements like properties and measures.
Most often the elements title/name is enough, but there are certainly scenarios where a shorter/longer description would be useful. There should never be any doubt what a Dimension, Property og Measure shows.
This was a small but valuable addition in my oppinion, good to see it.
Currently it is only available through the new “Edit database” feature, would be great to see it in the Database Designer as well (I guess it comes here as well at some point).
