annotation in the New Annotation dialog box. Three tabs in the New Annotation dialog box
allow you to define the annotation:
l
Annotation tab — capture the title, description and a predefined category.

Context tab — capture Object and Dimension information. Object information can be a
data source or any object on the report. For example:
m
a data source — the annotation is attached to any Financial Reporting report using the
specified data source.
m
Grid: data source — the annotation is attached to the specified grid and data source.
m
Text, Chart, or Grid — the annotation is attached the specified object with no
dimensions on the object.

local drive, any object in the repository, or a URL.
