Often Dashboard design requirements demand functionality that does not come as a Out of box solution in Xcelsius. One such example is a tool tip.

The video doesn’t play for me. IE follow the link to the swf file but nothing ever plays. Any ideas?
I can’t run the Trend Analyer video either.

I tested the videos in IE and Firefox. Works fine. What browser are you using?
