  • Annotation View: A view that displays the annotations.
  • Annotation Label: A label that can be applied to a datapoint.

How to create an annotation project

To use annotations:
  1. Open the Annotations page from the menubar.
  2. Create a project
  3. Add a dataset to the project.
  4. Create or select an annotation view configuration for the project.
  5. Assign annotators to the entire dataset or a subset of the dataset.
You can also create a project by clicking the Annotate button when viewing a dataset.

​
Annotation Labels

Annotation labels are the labels that can be applied to a datapoint. You can create and manage Annotation Labels from the Labels tab in the Annotations page. Labels can be of 3 types:
  • Categorical: Allows annotator to select from a list of pre-defined options.
  • Numeric: Allows annotator to enter a number.
  • Comment: Allows annotator to enter a freeform text comment.

​
Annotation View Configuration

Annotation View Configuration defines the annotation view that annotators will see. This includes:
  • The fields (columns) from the dataset that will be displayed.
  • The layout of the annotation view.
  • The labels that annotators will enter for each datapoint.

​
Fields

Fields are the columns from the dataset that will be displayed in the annotation view. You can configure which fields will be displayed in the annotation view. You can also configure the following:
  • Whether fields are editable by the annotator or not.
  • Whether fields are required to be filled out by the annotator or not.
  • Whether fields are expanded / collapsed by default.
  • Whether to render the field as a text or markdown.

​
Labels

Labels are the labels that annotators will enter for each datapoint. You can configure the labels that will be displayed in the annotation view.

​
Annotation Metrics / Results

You can view the metrics / results of the annotation project from the Metrics tab in the Annotations page. You can also view the metrics of all annotation entries associated with a dataset from the Metrics tab in the Datasets page.
