How to add a field documentation in a custom analytical query

[Chris101]

Hi All,

I am trying to add in some field documentation into a custom analytical query report but failing to find any documentation on how to do this. Please see image below which shows what happens when I right-click => More field help. 

This is powered by a custom CDS view and please see the reference below for the field and annotations.

The label annotation is working but the quick info is not at the moment.

@Aggregation.default: #SUM

@EndUserText.label: 'Not Invoiced Amount'

@EndUserText.quickInfo: 'Quick Info'

NetUnitPrice * (cast(RequestedQuantity as abap.int8) - cast((case when _ItemQtys.InvoicedQty is null then 0 else _ItemQtys.InvoicedQty end) as abap.int8)) as NotInvoicedAmount,

Hello @Chris101 

Thank you for your question and the screenshot.

In S/4HANA Public Cloud, the multidimensional report that opens from Custom Analytical Queries doesn’t display @EndUserText.quickInfo in the More Field Help popover. For many custom or calculated fields, you’ll simply see “No Help Available.” The content of that popover depends on the report viewer, not just your CDS annotations.

What  you should do

• Put guidance in the query header: add your explanation in Custom Analytical Queries → Query Information → Description so users see it in the report header. SAP Help Portal-EndUserText
• Use a UI that supports tooltips if you need per-field help:
• Fiori elements can surface quick info/tooltips via annotations (e.g., @Common.QuickInfo). GitHub
• In SAP Analytics Cloud, you can add tooltip measures/dimensions on charts/tables. SAP Help Portal-Select Accounts, Measures, and Dimensions
• SAPUI5 generally treats tooltips as UI-specific; not every control shows them. sapui5.hana.ondemand.com-Discover New Enterprise Grade Horizons
