Adding an Annotation to an Output or Data View Component

To add an annotation to one of the Data View components (Table, Chart, Crosstab) or Output components (Gauge, Image, Text, etc.), follow the steps below:

1. If necessary, select the bookmark in which you want to save the annotation. (Annotations that you add will be saved with the active bookmark) See Restoring Settings from a Bookmark for information on selecting a bookmark.

2. Right-click on the Data View or Output component, and select 'Annotate Component' from the context menu.

 

This opens the Annotation Editor. (For an Output component, the Editor displays a default annotation giving the components current aggregate.)

3. Enter the desired annotation text into the Editor, and use the toolbar to visually format the text. See Editing Annotation Text for more information on how to use the Editor.

 

4. Press 'OK' to close the Annotation Editor. This adds the annotation to the Viewsheet and attaches a callout line to the designated component.

 

5. Position the annotation as desired. See Positioning an Annotation for more information.
