The ability to annotate a visualization, for example a chart or graph, would make both the dashboard and reports experience more robust.

To me the product would become more valuable if users could annotate a dashboard and save for review by the team. This could be a case of annotate and save to PDF / email or better if a live copy of the dashboard and data as it was during the annotation is stored within power BI to be shared centrally with a version number and name. - prabganeNew MemberAnnotations..Ability to ad texts to graph.
- hello25New Member'+1 for this. An auditor needs to point out the spot in the visuals that proves the problem. Or maybe has a question about it that needs someone else to come along and answer it. I've been thinking that a d3 chart might contain the annotation DOT and another widget could display the text that the user entered for that DOT.
- tdthoiRegular VisitorThis is an often requested feature. A good use case is here: https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums/265200-power-bi-ideas/suggestions/7112070-making-annotations
- xuxueqingNew MemberIn our situation, we want to create tooltips-like annotations to help report users understand each visuals better just in case they need more explanations about the visuals.

This would need to be added at the Visual Level and something that PowerOn will be adding to their Visuals in the next couple of months - aaron_hallNew MemberAnnotations on a map have been really useful to us in the past. Little custom pop outs that allow us to edit the tool tip to give our users more information about the particular area on a map.
- dahti00New Member'I don't know if this relates to popbups and annotations. I would like to add an in-built trigger for certain values upon which the user would get animated objects in the dashboard and equivilent static picture in the reports. Simply put; for gamefying Id like to assign decals and messages to an employee if he/she reaches a certain customer response rate or sales qouta. Would be like this:: --Congrahulations! You have reached level Gold standard in this months Sales competition. //Displays badge animated// The user would get an annotation alse whereas the collagues would see his/hers name as the winner
- jamesbernardtayNew MemberAnnotations that are pulled into from a table would be very useful.
- dennis_faustNew MemberLooking for the same. An example would be where I am showing a comparison between target values and actual values. Interested to annotate the delta and explain why or what action could be taken to address the delta.
