Annotating Records in the Trace Viewer

The Trace Viewer allows you to add operator notes to records. The notes are stored in the database with the log data but, unlike operator notes created in the Historical Data Viewer, these notes may be edited or deleted.

To add a note, follow these steps:

1.  Select the Annotate Record button.

2.  Select the record you wish to annotate in the list. The Annotate Record dialog will open.

3.  Enter the note in the field provided.

4.  Click the OK button. The record with which the note is associated will be highlighted in green, and a window displaying the note’s text will appear in a tool tip when the mouse pointer is rested on the record.

 

To edit or erase a note:

Notes can be editing by following the same procedure you used to create them.  Select the Annotate button, and then select a green record in the Trace Viewer.  The Annotate Record dialog will re-open with the existing note displayed.  Edit as you wish, then select OK.
