TRANSFORM AND IMPROVE THE OBJECT ANNOTATIONS

Previous Member

Hello,

i had this idea for improving object annotations which are today not so much of use or are not leveraged the way we could i guess

 

1. What is your idea?

Annotations should be empowered and transformed in terms of functionality and use. Annotations should:

• Be more visible when “active” or filled with information/content
• Be improved in terms of UI and access to the annotation itself (tooltip/pop-up..)
• Be accessible through a standard action or mouseover that “pops-up” the annotation/s

 

2. What specific problem are you trying to find a solution to, or what new scenario would this idea respond to?

• Support “in context” help
• Provide additional information to the users regarding the underlying logic of a calculation or the objective of a certain KPI/Analysis
• Ease the user adoption and “end user training”

 

3. What workaround have you found and used so far (if any)?

I currently use in context "help" such as labels with tooltip or labels with text that explains what to do or what a calculation is performing
