How to get plain text annotation (not info-box blue)

[Community Alums]

Hello,

Looking at the docs for annotations here: https://docs.servicenow.com/bundle/newyork-platform-administration/page/administer/form-administrati...

It looks like the "Text" option is just the same as "Info box blue."  It has an example for how to change the text color, but not how to remove the blue background.  Changing the background-color in the html only changes the background of the text, not the annotation itself.

Also, is there a best practice to align the text?  It appears to be centered but I thought I would ask the community.  The bigger issue is the background color.

I came across this post looking for answers and it looks like this can be done for anybody else that comes across it in the future.

The process:

1. Navigate to All > System UI > Form Annotation Types.
2. Set the Active field to false for any types you do not want to use.
3. Click New to add a type.
4. Name the Annotation type something like "Simple Text" and leave the style blank.
5. Save and on your form use the new Simple Text annotation type.
6. Adjust style as needed.

That worked perfectly for me, thanks for posting!!!

I just wanted a transparent background instead of the blue box, followed the steps you provided:

1. Navigate to All > System UI > Form Annotation Types.
2. Click New to add a type.
3. Name the Annotation type something like "Simple Text" and leave the style blank.
4. Save and on your form use the new Simple Text annotation type.
