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.
