How to add tooltip on e-column header of <ejs-grid>

Hi Team,
I am trying to add individual grid column header tooltip and not the cell itself, but it is not working. I tried to add headerTooltip property as an attribute of e-column. Have also tried to add a template but it is not picking either of the two. I have angular-popups in my project which is required for ToolTip to function.
Thanks in advance!
<ejs-grid #summaryGrid id="summaryGrid" [allowPdfExport]="true" [allowExcelExport]="true" [toolbar]='toolbarOptions' [dataSource]='data' (toolbarClick)='toolbarClick($event)'
[allowSorting]='true' [allowSelection]='true'
[allowResizing]='true'(rowSelected)="onRowSelected($event)"
(dataBound)='dataBound()' [selectionSettings]='selectionOptions'>
<e-columns>
<e-column headerTooltip ='sample tool tip' field='date' [valueAccessor]='dateFormatter' headerText='Date' width=130>e-column>
<e-column field='totalAvailInventory' [valueAccessor]='numberFormatter' headerText='Avail Inventory ($)' width=110>e-column>
<e-column field='totalAvailInventoryAfterEx' [valueAccessor]='numberFormatter' headerText='Avail Inventory After Ex ($)' width=150>e-column>
<e-column field='totalRehypoLimit' [valueAccessor]='numberFormatter' headerText='Rehypo Limit ($)' width=130>e-column>
<e-column field='totalShorts' [valueAccessor]='numberFormatter' headerText='Shorts Demand ($)' width=150>e-column>
e-columns>
ejs-grid>

Hi Samir, 

Thanks for contacting Syncfusion support. 

Query : I am trying to add individual grid column header tooltip and not the cell itself, but it is not working. I tried to add headerTooltip property as an attribute of e-column. Have also tried to add a template but it is not picking either of the two. I have angular-popups in my project which is required for ToolTip to function. 
 
We have checked your query and you can achieve your requirement by using “headerCellInfo” event. We have prepared a sample in which tooltip is rendered for particular column header and not the cell itself. Please refer the below code example, sample link and documentation link. 

[app.component.ts] 
import { Tooltip } from '@syncfusion/ej2-popups'; 

@Component({ 
  selector: 'app-root', 
  templateUrl: 'app.component.html'   
}) 
export class AppComponent implements OnInit { 
  public data: Object[]; 

    @ViewChild('grid') 
    public grid: GridComponent; 
   .   .   .   .   . 
  ngOnInit(): void { 
    this.data = data.slice(0, 5); 
        .   .   .   . 
headerCellInfo(args) { 
   if ( args.cell.column.field === 'CustomerID') { 
    const toolcontent = args.cell.column.headerText; 
    const tooltip: Tooltip = new Tooltip({ 
      content: toolcontent 
  }); 
   tooltip.appendTo(args.node); 
   } 

[app.component.html] 
<div class="control-section"> 
    <ejs-grid id="grid" #grid [dataSource]='data'   
    [editSettings]='editSettings'  
    [allowSelection]='true' [selectionSettings]='selectOptions'  
    allowPaging='true' allowFiltering='true' [filterSettings]="filterOptions" (headerCellInfo)='headerCellInfo($event)'
    <e-columns> 
      <e-column field='OrderID' headerText='Order ID' width='120' textAlign="Center"></e-column> 
      .  .  .  . 
    </ejs-grid> 
     
  </div>
