Loading Annotations Only via a Workflow
Is it possible to create a data source to load annotations only from a flat file. I am tagging the annotations in the flat file with the View dimension. It seems like the data source always wants a...
Found the issue. For future reference, on the Cube’s Integration Tab, ensure that the TextValue field is enabled for the desired Scenario Type. Lookup "Loading Cell Text as an Annotation Data Attachment" in the Design and Reference Guide.
Hi - I've followed every step from the https://documentation.onestream.com/1384528/Content/Design%20and%20Reference/Data%20Collection%20Guides/Loading%20Cell%20Text%20as%20an%20Annotation.html section.
- The Cube Integration tab has the textvalue field set to active
- Importing is done through a data source with a textvalue field
- The Templated import specifies the view with the Tag "V#:[Annotation]"
- Similarly the text dimension, tagged "TV#:[#Annotation]"
- The Amount Column is set to constant 0.1
For reference, the tags are supplied by this page: https://documentation.onestream.com/1375907/Content/Design%20and%20Reference/Data%20Collection%20Guides/Loading%20Stage%20Data.html
The import, including loading to the cube, works smoothly (In the load step you can see that the view is set to "Annotation", there is a column called "Text Value" with the text I want to import)
But - only the annotations doesn't get imported. Am I missing one step?

Update - This specific approach works perfectly fine. Just be aware that the resulting Annotations will sit on Origin Import, where as other values will be aggregated etc.
A simple mistake to make when you are looking at the data through a cube view with a fixed Origin.
