Smart Tags

Smart tags pop up information on the item hovered over by the cursor in a tooltip style window, without having to select the item itself. The smart tag will disappear after a few seconds. This is a useful way to quickly get information about an item in the main navigation window when navigation has ceased. The default information shown is the name and type of the item, but you can define which properties to show using the smart tags options

Note

If the item hovered over doesn't have the property requested, smart tags will search up the selection tree for a parent that does, so maximising the useful information you get.

To turn on smart tags
