Annotations
Annotations are a new 3.50 Helium code pattern that tells the form engine what a custom PeopleCode part/hook is dependent on/subscribed to in the form so the engine knows when it needs to fire the part/hook. These code patterns are covered in a separate document under the Tips N Tricks folder of the GT Customer Self Service documentation site. This page helps you see all the parts/hooks that a Form Type (Network Id) uses and which ones have annotations. This gives visibility into technical code extensions allowing a functional user to know there are code elements subscribed to form elements that are not visible in Form Setup.
Navigation: Manage GT eForms 3.X > GT Functional Setup > eForm Parts Gallery > Annotations
The Annotations link is also provided on the General tab of Form Setup to quickly allow a functional to open this page without having to follow the manual navigation above.
