Introduction

Since version 2021.01 a new display has been introduced Annotation Display.

It has been introduced to

• To show special remarks that are valid for a specific location for a specific period
• Define the text on a location basis and not time series basis

Besides the text of the annotation itself it is possible to define extra properties which belong to the annotation for this see Annotation Metadata Schema

There a 2 different ways of enabling the Annotation Display, both via the explorer task. One without specific config <predefinedDisplay>annotation display</predefinedDisplay> and one with referring to the display config file  <displayConfigFileName>AnnotationDisplay</displayConfigFileName> 

		<explorerTask name="Annotation Display">
			<!--<predefinedDisplay>annotation display</predefinedDisplay>-->
			<displayConfigFileName>AnnotationDisplay</displayConfigFileName>
			<toolbarTask>true</toolbarTask>
			<menubarTask>true</menubarTask>
			<loadAtStartup>true</loadAtStartup>
		</explorerTask>

The config file of the annotation display currently only holds 3 optional elements to add permissions.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<annotationDisplay xmlns="http://www.wldelft.nl/fews" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.wldelft.nl/fews http://fews.wldelft.nl/schemas/version1.0/annotationDisplay.xsd">
	<createPermission>AllowDataEditor</createPermission>
	<editPermission>AllowValueEditor</editPermission>
	<deletePermission>AllowValueEditor</deletePermission>	
</annotationDisplay>
