Working with the Annotations List

On this tab, the annotations of the project are listed. You can also assign annotations to another user and set a status. For more information on annotations, see Create and Manage Annotations.

To open this tab:

The following page is displayed:

​Open in Sphere XG: Opens the project in the Sphere XG Viewer. Depending on your setup, you can also open the drop down and select Open in HoloBuilder.

Filters: You can filter according to the user who created the annotation, assigned tags, status and the due date. You can define these parameters when you create or edit an annotation. The number of active filters is displayed on the filter button, for example

for one active filter.

Search: Allows searching for an annotation name. The list of annotations is adapted while you are typing.

Export CSV: Export content in .csv format.

The list header shows the total number of annotations and whether or not they have been completed. Overdue annotations are displayed in red.

This list contains the annotation properties that you can define while creating the annotation. Note that it is not mandatory to assign a user, a status or a due date to an annotation. You can also just use annotations as additional information markers in a project.

In the list, the annotations are displayed with the following information:
