Creating Annotations

Use

This function is used to create annotations for documents that are displayed in the EAI viewer (see also Viewer for Displaying Original Files in Standard).

Prerequisites

The documents for which annotations are to be created are displayed using the EAI viewer.

Features

When the document is called, the system checks whether annotations already exist for this document. If annotations exist, the menu option Layer is displayed in the EAI viewer toolbar. All existing annotations are listed under this menu option and can be displayed.

Various tools for editing are available in editing mode (Redlining). New annotations can be created and existing annotations deleted in editing mode.

Activities

To display existing annotations, select the required annotation under the menu option Layer in the viewer.

The annotation is displayed in the original.

To edit annotations, choose Tools à Redlining in the viewer.

A new toolbar with various editing tools is displayed.

You can edit the annotation.

If there are no annotations for a document, the menu option Layer is not displayed when the document is called. To create a new annotation, choose Tools à Redlining in the viewer.

Before the toolbar is displayed, specify a name for the new annotation.

After editing, save your annotations by choosing the icon in the EAI viewer standard toolbar.
