About Annotations

Annotations used with Financial Reporting reports capture collective information that can be shared on documents and data.

Annotations provide a range of flexibility from simple notations to full-fledged threaded discussions, laying the foundation for collaboration, compliance reporting, and business process analysis. Authorized users can create, edit, remove, and respond to annotations. Annotations can be attached to a report object (grid object, text object, chart object, and image object), and can reference a full or partial POV. Annotations included in reports can be viewed when selected for books and snapshot books.

Note:

This chapter refers only to Annotations created in the Explore Repository, not to comments created in Planning and displayed using the "Show Cell Text as Annotations" option in Financial Reporting Studio.
