If you select Show All from the Data Source drop-down box on the

Details

(page 191) window, the Value and Value Type fields in the FactoryTalk

Historian Annotation Maintenance group are disabled.

Add Annotations

To add annotations:

1. Open the Details (page 191) window.

2. In Run mode, select a dynamic symbol on your display.

3. Select the event of interest in the Data table.

4. Click inside the Value text box and type the information you wish

displayed in your annotation.

5. Select a value from the Value Type drop-down box.

6. Click

at the top of the FactoryTalk Historian Annotations

Maintenance group. An annotation icon

appears on the dynamic

symbol if it is showing the annotated event. Hover over this icon to
read your annotation. A record of the annotation also appears on the
Details window when the Data option is selected.

You need to be running a FactoryTalk Historian server 2.0 or higher for

annotations to work correctly. Otherwise, it is possible that an annotated

event will not only be marked as annotated, but will also be marked as
substituted.

Data Favorites

The Data Favorites add-in provides a way to configure symbols by
dragging a FactoryTalk Historian tag name (or other data stream) from a
list onto the symbol.
