About Case Annotations

A case annotation:

• Supports a maximum of 200 characters.
• Is saved with the case series. Once entered, an annotation is saved for the case series. You do not need to explicitly save a case series to save the annotations.
• Is applicable for the case in only the same case series where it was saved. It is not applicable even for the same case if the case is in a different case series.
• Is frozen along with a frozen case series. Therefore, you cannot edit, add, or delete an annotation in a frozen case series.
• Is copied to a new case series if the case series where it was created is also copied.
• Is exported to Microsoft Excel when you use the Export to Excel feature.
• Is kept with a case if the case series is subsetted.
• Is retained when the case series merges with another case series. As shown in the following graphic, the Case Series #1 section title on the CASE SERIES MERGE page includes a statement that the notes from this series will be preserved in the merged case series:
