Annotation

This help page is for Desktop Studio. This information is also available for CXone Studio.

Allows you to add comments or other text that's visible on the script canvas.

Annotation and the Note action both allow you to add comments to your script. However, the text of a Note action is not visible on the canvas. Additionally, you can connect Annotation to another action in the script. For example, if you're annotating the purpose of a specific action, you can connect Annotation to that action. The Note action cannot be connected to other actions.

When you click and drag Annotation onto your canvas, you will notice that, unlike other actions, the icon turns into a gray space. You can resize the annotation area by clicking the bottom-right corner of the action and dragging it in or out to your desired size. You can enter your annotation in the action's Properties, either directly into the property field or clicking the ellipsis to open the string editor.
