    You should be able to set up a dynamically calculated U8 reporting member that looks like this::

    Dim viewMember As ViewMember = ViewMember.GetItem(api.Pov.View.MemberPk.MemberId)

If viewMember.IsAnnotationType Then
	If viewMember.Name = "Annotation" Then 
		Return api.UD1.InUse(api.Pov.UD1.MemberId, True, True)	
	End If
End If

    The first "True" is vary by scenario and the second is vary by time.

    In this way you can pull V#Annotation:U8#U1InUse

    On a cube view and it will show when it has changed from True to False or vice versa.
