You must have the Application Administrator or Storage Administrator role.

Steps

  1. In the left navigation pane, click Storage Management > Annotations.

  2. In the Annotation Rules tab, click Add.

  3. In the Add Annotation Rule dialog box, enter a name for the rule.

  4. Select one object type from the Target Object Type list, and then select an annotation name and value from the list.

  5. In the Conditions section of the dialog box, select an operand and an operator from the list and enter a condition value, or click Add Condition to create a new condition.

  6. Click Save and Add.
