# Annotation Record

The annotation record is used for defining a filename for the LRIT file. It is optional according to LRIT specification but all files received so far contains it. For DCS Files this should be overrided with [DCS Filename Record](/goes-satellite-hunt/file-types/lrit-header-description/132-dcs-filename-record), since DCS files will also contain this field, but after content is extracted it should be named as the DCS Filename Header says.

| Name | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Filename | string (64) | The Filename |
