This page covers the status workflow and file attachment behavior for Data Review Annotations. Phase Annotations do not have states or file attachment support; this reference applies only to Data Review Annotations.

​
Statuses

​
Transitioning between states

Use the status control in the Annotation details panel to transition an Annotation between Open, Failed, and Accepted. All state transitions are recorded in the Annotation’s activity log with a timestamp and the user who made the change.

​
How Annotation states appear in Reports

When a Rule is evaluated in a Report, the status displayed for that Rule is derived from the states of its Annotations:
  • If all Annotations are Open: the Rule shows as Open.
  • If at least one Annotation is Failed: the Rule shows as Failed, regardless of other Annotation states.
  • If all Annotations are Accepted: the Rule shows as Accepted.
  • If the Rule generated no Annotations: the Rule shows as Passed. Passed Rules are not shown in the Report by default; filter for Passed Rules to see them.
Changing an Annotation’s state immediately updates the Rule’s displayed status in the Report.

​
File attachments

Files can be attached to Annotations and to individual comments on Annotations.

Edge cases and limitations

  • Archiving an Annotation removes it from the active view but does not change its state. Archived Annotations can be restored.
  • Phase Annotations cannot be transitioned. They have no state field and cannot be assigned or resolved.
  • Attachments are stored alongside their Annotation or comment and remain associated with it even if the Annotation is archived.
  • Attachments do not alter the content or behavior of the Annotation or comment they are added to.
  • Files that exceed 30 GB cannot be uploaded; the upload will fail.
  • A Rule that was not included in the Report evaluation does not appear in the Report at all; not even as Passed.
  • Live Rules that did not generate an Annotation during the original evaluation are not linked to the Report and will not be included if the Report is rerun. To evaluate them, generate a new Report.
