Annotating your work with floating and audio notes

Use Prism's floating notes to comment on sheets

Floating notes will show on the sheet but not when a sheet is printed, or exported or copied to another application, such as Word or PowerPoint. Use different color notes for different things. For example, have one colleague review all yellow notes, and another one review all the blue notes.

To add a floating note to a Prism sheet:

Click on the button on the Sheet toolbar.

To minimize a floating note:

- Click the Minimize button on a Floating Note to collapse the note. Or just double-click on the top border of the note.

To add a link to a web site:

- Drop the Note menu using the button in the upper left corner of a note and use the Create Link to add a hyperlink to a website or other document.

To change the color or delete a floating note:

Click on the triangle in the upper-left corner of the note to open the change dialog, and select Note Color.

Make Audio notes for your colleagues who don't like to read (Windows only)

If you have a microphone and speakers attached to your computer, you can record notes and attach them to Prism graphs and layouts. (You cannot add audio notes to data table, results sheets, or Info sheets.)

To record an audio note:

Click on the button in the Sheet toolbar. This will open a recording session.

To play an audio note:

Click on the button on the Prism sheet. (You must have your speakers turned on to listen to audio notes.)

To delete an audio note:

Select an audio note and hit the Delete key.
