Annotations

nnotations allow you to add a comment on a specific node. By default, the node is collapsed, and you must hover over the icon to see the comment. In Powerviz annotations, you’ll get multiple options to add a comment. Input types include text, links, images, and dynamic measures. Along with that, you can format each type by color, size, and effect.
