I often find myself having to explain to end-users over and over again what each chart means and the data in it. Ideally the end-user should be able to hover over the chart title in a report/live report on a dashboard to see a description of the data and chart.

Sometimes it is necessary to provide text based comments on specific points in charts. At this point in time it is not possible to add text comments dynamically into a bar chart as an example.

It would be great if you could implement comment functions and for example implement pop up texts when clicking on a reference point in a chart.

It would also help for example to visualize the calculation method of a specific KPI. When clicking on the KPI there would be a pop up with text information.

I am also thinking about the pop up box, or mouse over text on particular symbol to read the details, or creating self help symbols is good to explain to clients, or they can do self service if needed, or end user side it is necessary to give brief description to fallow the dashboards.
