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
