Annotate a Dashboard Pane

Annotations appear on executive reports. Use them to clarify information or draw attention to specific data.

Annotation text is specific to the current dashboard template and your username. For example, if the Drive Health pane appears in several dashboard templates, each instance of the Drive Health pane can have a different annotation associated with it. Annotations entered by one user on the Drive Health pane do not appear to a user logged in with a different username.
  1. In the left navigation bar, select Home, then select Dashboard.
  2. Click Panel Information Panel Info icon in the pane's toolbar.

    Panel Information icon noted in graph toolbar.

  3. Enter the annotation text (up to 1000 characters) for this instance of the pane, and then click Save Annotation.
  4. For the updated annotation to appear on an executive report, you must save the current dashboard template. See Save a Template and Modify a Template. If you log out of this session without saving the template, the annotation will be lost for future login sessions when the executive report runs.
