Considerations When Using Annotations

There are several considerations to keep in mind when creating annotations.

  • The annotation creator can apply access control and permission options to groups or users.

  • Annotations can be added to a single value, a row or column, or a range of rows and columns.

  • Annotations cannot be applied to objects in the report's header or footer.

  • Annotations in Snapshot reports, represented with an eye icon, and snapshot books and batches are limited to read-only permissions.

  • Multiple attachments per annotation are supported as well as URL references. Hovering the mouse over the icon displays attachments.

  • A warning icon is displayed when a report containing an annotation is deleted.

  • A designer can add text cells or text objects to a report and apply an Annotation function that will reference specific annotations or annotation elements in a grid. This is done through Reporting Studio. See the Designing with Financial Reporting Studio for Oracle Enterprise Performance Management Cloud
