What is tool tip in SAP?

Tooltips appear next to the mouse pointer when it hovers over an element that offers a tooltip. Tooltips are shown only for elements that do not have a label or, in rare cases, to display additional information.

Support both mouse and keyboard hover.

Tooltips that appear only on mouse hover are inaccessible for users that rely on keyboards to navigate. Be inclusive in your design and ensure that your tooltips are accessible via keyboards.
