Adding notes and sharing

Getting ready

We will use the report named 23 Bikes Internet Sales by Month. So, you need to have it ready before going further.

How to do it...

Open the report number 23 on your mobile device:

  1. Tap the action button on the right-hand side of the title bar.
  2. Select Annotate and Share, this will open a screenshot of the report.
  3. Use your finger to draw freehand shapes or write polite comments.
  4. Tap your masterpiece and choose Add Comment.
  5. You can type text inside the box that is shown. Comment boxes can be moved by tapping-and-dragging them around; or even resized by dragging their corners.
  6. Once you're ready to share, tap the action button again and then on Email Screen.

How it works...

Annotations and comments are not saved with the report. So, when you close and reopen it, your drawings are gone.

There's more...

If you want to store a snapshot of the report for your personal records without sending it by mail, from the action button select Annotate and Share, then tap again the same action button icon and select Save in Photos.
