Graph Annotations

Overview

 

stPro provides a mechanism whereby a user can add a note or 'Annotation' to a trend.  This can be useful when wishing to label periods of particular interest or for remembering when specific plant events occurred.  The facility can also be used by shift Operators to pass information on to other users.

 

Annotations can either be either public or private and can be associated with an item or just a specific time period.
