Searching for Annotations

Use the Explore Repository to access the Annotation Manager where you can search for annotations.

To search for annotations:

1. From the Explore Repository, select Tools, and the Annotation Manager.
2. In Search, select a search method:

   • All—Search based on text located in Title, Author, Category, Description, or Context. Case-insensitive text, trailing asterisks, and wildcard strings are acceptable.

   • Title—Search based on text located in Title. Case-insensitive text, trailing asterisks and wildcard strings are acceptable.

   • Author—Search based on text located in Author.

   • Category—Search on a category.

   • Description—Search based on text located in the description. Case-insensitive text, trailing asterisks and wildcard strings are acceptable.

   • Context—Search on context. The Search lookup displays the Context Lookup dialog box where you can define your search based on a data source, element name, and, optionally, an element value.

     Data sources are displayed for existing annotations. A Oracle Hyperion Financial Reporting data source indicates that the annotation is attached to the report. The Financial Reporting data source is displayed if annotations are set on an object. A Oracle Hyperion Planning data source indicates that the annotation is attached to the grid data source. To specify multiple element values, separate each value with a comma (,). Only one value must be met.

   • Advanced Search—Define your search based on a combination of Title, Author, Description, Posted Date Range, Category or Context.

3. Click the annotation to view annotation content.
