→Creating an Annotation Type
===Creating an Annotation Type===
The '''Annotation Type '''is necessary to use the Field Revision Annotation feature; it allows users to define role-based permissions to control who can use that specific type of annotation.
1. Click the 9-square menu icon on the top right of your page.
:: {{Icon-Menu}}
2. Under the heading '''Configuration, '''select '''Global Settings.'''
:: [[File:Annotation types.png|500px|border]]
* This will open up the list of available Annotation Types in the system. If you do not have any already configured in your system, the page will be blank.
* To edit an existing Annotation Type, simply click the '''pencil icon '''on the left of the annotation name.

* The Name and Caption field are normally labelled the same, if not similarly.
* The Description field is important to fill out for the configuration and creation of all [[SmartSimple]] features: it is best practice to provide guidance in case anyone else needs to modify or use your configuration
