How to Display device Information in Visio

Hi,

Kindly let me know that is it possible to display device information in Microsoft Visio when a mouse is hovered onto the device. An example image is attached along, which contains a reference diagram.

When I hover the mouse over the Router it should display the information about that router (whatever I have entered). Similarly it should display for Switch and Laptop when I hover the mouse onto them.

If you have any web link which shows how to achieve the above, kindly share the same.

Thanks in advance.

To add to what Rgonzo said -- it's also possible to have the tooltip text display the contents of shape data fields. For example, if you have data in any of the data fields that are included with Visio's network shapes, you can display the contents of one or more data fields in the tool tip. If this sounds useful, let me know and I'll be glad to provide instructions.

Hi Scott,

Can you elaborate more? So that I can understand what exactly do you mean by Shape Data Fields. If you can provide a link where information is present about this, instead of you taking the pain to explain me completely.
