Annotating a Report

Use the Annotations button     to add text and graphics to a report displayed in the Workspace.  

To annotate your report:

1. Click the Annotations button. The Annotations drop-down menu displays the annotation types.
   
   
   To display the name of an Annotation type, from the Annotations drop-down menu, on the Workspace, pause your mouse over a graphic. The Annotation types are: Text, Circle, Rectangle, Arrow, Balloon, Line and Image.

2. Drag an annotation type from the drop-down menu to the report.

3. Size the graphic by dragging one of the graphic anchors.

Adding a graphic with text

1. You can add text to the Text, Arrow, Balloon, Line, and Image Annotation types. To add a graphic that includes the text option, after dragging the graphic to the report, right-click on the graphic and on the shortcut menu, select Properties. The Annotation's Properties dialog is displayed.
   

2. In the Data box, select Text. Type your text in the box next to the Text property.

3. Close the Annotation's Properties dialog to view your text in the report.

Adding a graphic without text

To highlight an area of your report, you can add a circle or rectangle from the Annotations drop-down menu. Use the Annotation's Properties dialog to change the appearance of the graphic and to emphasis an area of your report. For example, you can create a circle and adjust the color and transparency to highlight a section of your report.
