At a glance
Use the Text Annotations panel to add annotated notes to your visualization. Up to three can be added. As of July 2024, annotations are only available for Area, Bar, Combo, and Line charts.
Where to Use
This panel displays for all map and chart types, but is only functional for Area, Bar, Combo, and Line charts, as well as US State and World maps.
Fields
Show Annotation Dropdown: Checkbox to show an accordion below the data table listing all of the annotations by number. This is very helpful when it is expected users will be viewing on mobile, as the mobile view of annotation will only display a number.
Annotation Dropdown Title: Change the title of the annotation accordion.
Add Annotation: Add up to three annotations to your chart. Use the caret to change the options below. To change the positioning of the annotation, drag and drop the dashed circles at the ends. These circles will not display on the published visualization.
- Annotation Text: Type the text for your annotation.
- Opacity: Choose the opacity of the text box
- Edit Subject: Allows the line anchor to be moved (uncheck to lock into place)
- Edit Label: Allows the text to be moved (uncheck to lock into place)
- Connection type: Choose from Curve, Line, Elbow, or None.
- Marker: Choose from arrow or circle.
