How to Hover Over a Bar to See a Day Tooltip
Learn how the AskBiz daily cash chart tooltip works — what information appears on hover and how to use it without opening the full Day Detail panel.
Key Takeaways
- Hovering over any bar shows a tooltip with the date, inflow, outflow, and net for that day.
- The tooltip is a quick preview — click the bar to open the full Day Detail panel with more context.
- Tooltips appear on both desktop hover and on mobile tap.
What Is the Tooltip
The tooltip is a small popup that appears above a chart bar when you move your mouse cursor over it. It provides a quick summary of that day's cash data without navigating away from the chart or opening additional panels. Tooltips are designed for fast scanning — you can hover across multiple bars in sequence to quickly compare days without any clicking.
How to Trigger the Tooltip
Step 1: Navigate to the /intelligence page and scroll to the Daily Cash Chart. Step 2: Move your mouse cursor over any bar in the chart. Step 3: After a brief moment (usually less than half a second), a tooltip box appears above the bar. Step 4: The tooltip remains visible as long as your cursor is over the bar. Step 5: Move your cursor to a different bar and the tooltip updates instantly to show that bar's data. Step 6: Move the cursor off the chart entirely to dismiss the tooltip.

The tooltip contains four pieces of information. First is the date, displayed in a readable format such as 'Mon Jun 2' or '02/06'. Second is the Inflow figure — the total cash received on that day from all recorded sources. Third is the Outflow figure — the total cash paid out on that day across all expense entries. Fourth is the Net figure — Inflow minus Outflow, displayed in green if positive or red if negative. These four data points are sufficient for a quick assessment of any individual day without needing to open the Day Detail panel.
Tooltip vs Day Detail — When to Use Each
Use the tooltip when you want a quick number for a specific day without interrupting your chart scanning. Use the Day Detail panel (accessed by clicking the bar) when you want deeper context — specifically the comparison to the period average, the 7-day rolling average comparison, and the channel proxy breakdown. For a rapid scan of the last 30 days, hover across bars sequentially to find outlier days. Once you spot a day that looks unusual, click that bar to open Day Detail and understand why it was different.
Mobile Touch Behaviour
On a mobile device or tablet, the hover tooltip behaviour is triggered by tapping and holding on a bar rather than hovering. Step 1: Open the /intelligence page in your mobile browser. Step 2: Tap and hold on a chart bar. Step 3: The tooltip appears after a brief press. Step 4: Lift your finger to dismiss the tooltip, or tap once (without holding) to open the Day Detail panel directly. This means on mobile, a short tap opens Day Detail and a tap-and-hold shows the tooltip.
