      How do I use Annotation Repeat

      Use the Annotation Repeat to make repetitive annotation coding more efficient.

      What is Annotation Repeat?

      The Annotation Repeat tool makes repeat annotations, such as identifying references to a specific issue, quicker and more efficient. You can repeat with or without the annotation dialog. (Repeating with the annotation dialog works well when you want to repeat specific fields and add additional annotation-specific coding. Repeating without the annotation dialog works well when you want to repeat coding and quickly move on.)

      Using Annotation Repeat

      1. Open an annotation form (this can be a new or existing annotation).
      2. Populate the fields you wish to repeat.
      3. Optional – Select Fields to Repeat
        1. Click the Start Repeating dropdown button > Select Fields to Repeat button to select which fields you will repeat from the available options.
        3. Check the desired items from the Annotation Auto-Repeat Options Click OK. (Primafact will use the last selection if you do not select fields to repeat. Primafact will use the default selection if you have never selected fields to repeat.)
      4. Repeat with or without Annotation Dialog:
        1. Repeat with Open Annotation Dialog:
          1. Click Start Repeating
          2. Create a new annotation. Annotation Form will open with selected fields populated. Update as desired. Click OK to save and close.
          3. Annotations will continue to open with selected fields repeated until Repeat is stopped.
        2. Repeat without opening Annotation Dialog
          1. Click Start Repeating dropdown
          2. Click Start Repeating without Annotation Dialog:

          3. Create a new annotation. Annotation will be created with selected fields populated without form opening
          4. Annotations will continue to be created with selected fields repeated until Repeat is stopped.

      Stopping Annotation Repeat

      When you are ready to stop repeating your Annotation, click the X on the Annotation Repeat button at the top-right of your Primafact window:
