[SOLVED] Popup field description?
Is it possible to make it so if a user hovers over a title on a report that a pop-up would show up describing what the field is?

For example, if I have a field labeled "Net Sales" and some users may not know that the Net Sales on the report is actually "Revenue minus Cost plus value of Unicorns" how could I make it so that the message would pop up only if they hovered over the title? I'd want it to read "Net Sales" except for the popup.

I think this was something that the system can do without any programming. We looked at back in 7.1.3, and it was something done in Metadata, but I can't remember for sure. Ideas?
