Global Customization - Changing the Default Annotation Form Settings

Customize default annotation values to open annotation forms with pre-set values.

You can now customize default annotation values. Examples that can be included in your default annotation form include:

  • Color is pink instead of yellow (you may consider all yellow annotations to be "older" and use different colors for annotations created after your Primafact 6 upgrade)
  • Automatically adding OCR text to the annotation's Text Excerpt field

Annotation defaults impact all users, across Cases.
