Annotations
Use cases for global annotations​
Example use cases:
- Marking product release cycles
- Highlighting critical events in your application's history
- Noting the launch of new marketing campaigns or strategies
Add global annotations​
You have two options for adding global annotations:
- On the insights page
- On the application home page
Adding global annotations from the insights page​
You can add global annotations on any insight where the X-axis is time. This means you are visualizing a "trend" in the insight.
You can't add annotations from Journey or Overall Retention insights.
Once the trend chart loads, click any point and then click the "Add annotations" button. This opens a new menu where you must type in the name of the annotation.
Adding global annotations from the Home page​
You can also add annotations on the home page by clicking the "+ More" button and then selecting "New annotation."
Editing global annotations​
All annotations are listed in the homepage assets list. Clicking an item in the list will redirect you to the edit page.
On the annotation edit page, you can modify the title, description, date, and time of the annotation.
You can also delete the annotation from this page by clicking the actions menu and then selecting "Delete annotation."
Show/hide annotations on charts and dashboards​
This toggle is available on both the Dashboards page and the Insights page.
