How to hide command buttons in tooltips

This post was originally published on The Data School blog between 2018 and July 2025, before our program was renamed to MIP’s Analytics Career Accelerator. References throughout this article to “The Data School” or “DS” all refer to what is now MIP’s Analytics Career Accelerator. The program, its people, and its commitment to launching outstanding analytics careers remain the same – just under a new name.

In this blog, I will tell you how to hide buttons in the tooltip. Disabling tooltip command buttons secures sensitive information or disallows the user to exclude the data.

During one of my projects during project week, the client requested a dashboard for giving general information about their organization to the public. However, they didn’t want users to see their sensitive information. Therefore, we need to disable the tooltip command buttons to secure sensitive information and keep the information at an aggregate level.

2 Steps to disable command buttons in the tooltip

Step 1: Go to Tooltip button in the Marks pane

Step 2: Untick the “Include command buttons” check box

Sometimes, a client has different purposes or needs. Therefore, it is very important to understand their needs and deliver what is best suited for a client. See you guys next blog.
