Task

The Task menu is about the task itself rather than the annotations in it. Use it to look up task and scene information, copy links and IDs, export the annotation, and take a break, pause the task or leave it.

Depending on the task and your assigned role, this menu will vary in items.

View the project title, request title and batch titel in this window.

Some tasks include metadata about the scene, such as recording location, weather conditions, or other contextual details. You can view this information in the Scene information window.

The Scene information option only appears in the menu when scene metadata is available for the current task. If you don't see it, the task has no scene metadata attached.

Opens the Review summary window, giving you an overview of the sampled-object review for the task. This option only appears in correction tasks that use sampled-object review.

Opens the Task history window, which shows the chain of tasks that led to the one you are working on. This option only appears when the task is part of a task chain (more than one linked task) and you are reviewing it.

Opens the Task settings dialog, where the current settings can be saved as defaults for everyone on the project. This option is only available to Kognic users and won't appear for most annotators.

When you create a filtered view link you get a link to the most recent version of the assignment that includes:

The unfiltered view link is a link to the most recent version of the assignment without any specification of an object, frame or source.

Reopens the current task in the Next environment, at the same address you are on now. This option is hidden when you are already on Next.

This menu item will lead to the dashboard, more specifically the Request details page, where you will be able to monitor and manage the main part of your or Kognic's annotation production.

Copies the assignment id to your pasteboard. The assignment id is an internal reference to a specific task.

Copies the external id to your clipboard.

Copies the scene UUID to your clipboard. The UUID is a unique internal reference to the scene you are working on.

Download a file containing the OpenLABEL represention of the annotation you are currently viewing.

A second download option next to Download OpenLABEL JSON. It exports the same OpenLABEL representation but with boxes in default Cartesian coordinates. Both options only appear if you are allowed to download OpenLABEL for the task.

Stop your work manually by clicking on this option. A pop-up dialogue will appear to confirm that the active working time has been paused. This option is not available in viewlinks.

Pausing a task lets you start a new task without submitting your current work. This is helpful if you're waiting for someone's help and can't move forward otherwise.

Making sure you recognize the task you paused

When pausing the task you are required to write a note. Use this opporunity to write something that makes it easier for you to recognize the task when you want to resume it.

Resuming the paused task

When you have achived the help you needed and are ready to resume the paused task, you can find it paused task on the page "My tasks". You can read more about how to resume the paused task via 🙋🏼‍♀️ Guide: Pausing tasks.

This menu item will lead you to the dashboard, more specifically the My task page, which is your main entry point to annotate, correct, and review tasks in the Kognic platform.
