Assigning annotators

Annotators can jump onto any image that is not yet started or you can assign annotators to specific images for better traceability. You can also automatically distribute images among multiple annotators.

Assign an annotator

You can assign images to an annotator using Assign annotator. When an image is assigned to an annotator, the name is shown as Assignee.

Annotators can use this information to easily filter out images that they are assigned to.

Assigning an annotator to an image does not prevent other members to annotate such images.

Assign multiple annotators at once

If you want to distribute images among multiple members, batch assignment is a powerful way.

1. Open the dropdown next to Project breadcrumb.

2. Select Assign annotator.

   • Choose Without subfolders if you want to select images in the current directory but exclude images within subfolders.

   • Choose With subfolders if you want to select all images within the current directory including images within subfolders.

3. (Optional) Change the number of files to be assigned to annotators.

4. Select members you want to assign the images to.

The number of files shows only those that are currently not assigned to any annotator.

Unassign annotators

You can unassign annotators using the same methods as assigning annotators.
