# 8.2 Zone Overlay & Observer Notes

![](https://cnri.edu/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/zone_overlay.jpg)

When ****Show zone overlay**** is on, the iris photo on the results screen displays an interactive polar overlay. Each clock-hour sector is tappable:

- Tap any zone to open its detail panel showing all FLAT/PROT/ANW findings in that zone, the associated organ system, and a text field for ****observer notes****.

- Observer notes are free-form text written by the practitioner. They are included as a named section in both the TXT report and the PDF report under "Observer Notes / Zone Overlay".

- Notes are session-local — they are not stored in the database between sessions.
