The annotations functionality lets you add comments and information to the cells of a scorecard that is in the dashboard. For example, you might want to make a notation in a cell with store sales numbers that indicates that bad sales at this point were caused by poor weather. These annotations can be seen by any user who has access to your dashboard. After an annotation is made to a cell, the annotation appears as a red triangle.

If there is no Enable Annotation button on the scorecard's toolbar, contact your IT Administrator.
