The SPC Control Properties dialog box>Annotation tab enables you to specify colors that can help users quickly see what subgroups have annotations

1 Annotation Highlight The subgroup that represents the value on the SPC chart displays the Annotation highlight color when that subgroup is selected to display its existing annotations or to be assigned a new annotation.
2 Annotation Symbol: One annotation A light weight circle will display around subgroups that have one annotation; the circle will display in the selected color.
3 Annotation Symbol: More than one annotation A heavy weight circle will display around subgroups that have two or more annotations; the circle will display in the selected color.
4 Max Annotation Size Each subgroup  value on a chart can have the maximum number of annotations specified in the Max Annotation Size field. The maximum number can be 2 through 20 annotations.
Default 5
Note: If a user attempts to enter more than the specified number of annotations, a message will open to explain that the limit was exceeded.
