Annotations (including Calendar Events) in Analysis Workspace

This would be greatly appreciated!

Annotations was delivered in April 2022. Here are some helpful resources to learn more:

- Documentation: https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/analytics/analyze/analysis-workspace/components/annotations/overview.html?lang=en

I agree - would be great to have this also on workspace since Reports section will be phased out - we would see a lot of business value to be able to add context to our charts and dashboards overall

Having annotations will be very useful and I am with @katynorris two points. A list would be great and the options to make it less prominent also. 

Are you planning to give the option to integrate the calendar events into Annotations? Or will we have to transfer them one by one when this feature becomes available?

@katynorris haha, I love your excitement for this being in Labs!  😀

Thanks for testing out the prototype, providing such thoughtful feedback, and sending it through the Labs portal. That will ensure it reaches the right team for consideration.

@jenla5 & @johnbates -- Hot d*mn, I now see that it's in Labs. Really cool. I love how you tied it segments/ metrics/ evars. Very elegant. Here's my feedback, also sent via Labs.

1. Move the annotation from a hover popup to a list below the graph itself, a la Google Analytics. My report consumers view charts via Workspace PDFs or in screenshots that I email them. None of the stakeholders are actually IN Adobe. So while the popup presentation might be helpful for analysts leaving notes to each other, having the 'key'  below the chart (with the option to show/hide) would be more useful when sending to stakeholders.

Also in this case, the label covers the data, which makes it kind of useless. 🙂

2. Add the ability to make the dot / line semi-transparent so that it's less prominent. Right now it's the dominant element on the graph. I'd like it to be more of a footnote than headline.

To echo @adamw73247808, I agree that having the ability to tie an annotation to a specific metric would be very helpful. In terms of visualizing the events, like the way Google Analytics displays them. If you really wanted to take it up a notch, you could even allow the events to be tied to variables (or even values in a variable).

For example, I would tie the "Friends Reunion on HBO Max" event to Show = Friends. 

Looks great and I like all the settings to adjust these @johnbates & @jenla5. We need this and we want this, no pressure. 😉 

In Adobe Analytics > Labs, we currently have an Annotations prototype available for you to try out. This prototype allows you to add contextual notes to data points in Analysis Workspace.

Adobe Analytics Labs prototypes are typically available for about 90 days. Your feedback on these early concepts is a wonderful way for you to directly influence our future roadmap investments.

Please try it out and provide your feedback! 😁
