Users can annotate an element, as well as upload a file to link to an annotation.
Setup of element annotations
You set up an annotation by opening an Annotations window for a specific element that you have selected in the Elements browser or viewer. In the Annotations window, you can add, edit, and delete annotations, as well as upload, change, and delete an attachment for an annotation.
Review of element annotations
You review annotation status for an element in the Elements viewer, where an Is Annotated column is displayed (
).
To view the content of an annotation, move the mouse pointer over the
icon beside an element to see the annotation text. If a file is attached, the name
of the file is also displayed.
