Project Settings
Copy Project
To copy a Project:
- Click the Copy project button in the Options section of the Project’s Settings.
- Select the components of the Project you want to copy into the new Project. The Ontology must be copied and is therefore always selected. All components of the current Project are selected by default.
You can copy any combination of the following assets:
- Datasets – All Datasets are copied.
- Labels – Copies labels in specified data units. By default, all labels are included. To copy only specific labels, select Selected Labels from the dropdown. Click +Advanced settings to filter labels by status.
- Models – Copies all models in the Project, including their training logs.
- Collaborators – Copies all Project users along with their roles. Project admins are always included.
- Click the Make a copy button to copy the Project with the specified components.
Upload Annotation Instructions
-
Navigate to the Settings tab of your Project.
-
Click the Upload PDF button to upload instructions for your annotators in PDF format. Once uploaded, annotation instructions are be accessible within the Label Editor, and the Workflow tab of your Project.
To ensure the best possible results, provide as much detail as possible about what you would like annotated and how precise bounding boxes should be drawn. For example, instead of saying ‘person’, consider defining what should constitute a person for your annotators - only a full person? A torso? Or should any part of a person in a frame be labeled as a ‘person’? The more specific your annotator instructions, the higher the chances that your annotators perform well.
Once uploaded, annotation instructions are accessible within the Label Editor, and the Workflow tab of your Project.
Project Tags
Project tags allow you to:
- Flexibly categorize and group your Projects.
- Filter your list of Projects by tag.
To add or remove Project tags:
- Navigate to the Options tab and click the Project tags drop-down. All available tags in your Organization are shown.
- Click on a tag to add it to a Project.
Remove a tag from your Project by clicking the same tag again, or clicking the x button next to its name.
Ontology Settings
You can view or switch the Ontology attached to your Project.
-
Click the Switch ontology button to switch the Ontology linked to your Project. The resulting pop-up allows you to choose an existing Ontology from a list, or create a new Ontology for this Project.
-
Click the View ontology button to view the details of the Ontology that is attached to the current Project.
Preload Next Task
Turning on the Enable task media preloading
feature preloads the next task in the background while the user is working in the Label Editor. This reduces wait times for the next task after submitting a task. This setting is disabled by default.
When enabled, the preloaded task is automatically assigned to the user, preventing others from initiating it.
- This feature is only supported for single images.
- Only the image is preloaded. Labels are not preloaded.
Change Datasets Attached to a Project
The Datasets section of the Options pane shows all the Datasets attached to a Project.
To add Datasets:
- Click Manage.
- Navigate to All datasets.
- Click Attach next to the Dataset(s) you want to add to the Project.
To remove Datasets:
- Click Manage.
- Ensure the Attached section is displayed.
- Click Detach next to the name of the Dataset you want to remove from the Project.
Manage Project Collaborators
To manage Project collaborators, select the Team pane in your project Settings. Collaborators can be added individually or as groups of users.
To add individual collaborators to a Project:
- Click the + Invite collaborators button. A dialog appears.
-
Select a user role for the collaborator you want to add by selecting an option from the list.
-
Type the email address of the user you want to add and select the user from the list.
-
Click the Add button to add the user with the specified role.
To add collaborators as a group:
- Select Groups. The Manage groups screen appears.
- Click Manage.
- Click the Select group drop-down and pick a group you want to add to the Project.
- Click the Select Role drop-down to assign a role to the group of collaborators.
- Click Add to add the group to the Project.
To change collaborator roles:
Only Project admins can modify collaborator roles. Admin roles cannot be changed, not even by other admins.
- Ensure Individuals is selected.
- Click the user’s role you want to change.
- Select a new role from the dropdown.
You can assign the following roles to collaborators:
- Annotator: Labels tasks in the Project.
- Reviewer: Reviews and validates labeled tasks.
- Annotator & Reviewer: Performs both annotation and review tasks.
- Team Manager: Assigns tasks to users and manages Project collaborators.
- Admin: Grants full administrative control over the Project. This action is irreversible.
Custom Editor Layout
Contact support to gain access to custom editor layouts.
You can customize the default Label Editor layout by uploading a JSON file that defines your preferred arrangement. These JSON files can be added in the Project settings and are applied to all tasks in a Project.
Custom editor layouts depend on a file’s client_metadata
or their DICOM tags. This means that custom editor layouts only work for files that contain client_metadata
or DICOM tags. Watch the video tutorials below to learn how it fits together.
To upload an editor layout:
- Navigate to the Project settings.
- Click on Layouts.
- Click Upload JSON.
- Select the JSON file containing the layout you want the Label Editor to have.
JSON file requirements:
The JSON file must follow the JSON schema defined here. The following fields are required:
Complete example
Add client metadata to files
Editor layouts are based on DICOM tags for DICOM files or on client_metadata
for all other use cases. We provide templates for common mammography layouts based on DICOM tags here.
This example uses client_metadata
. The following SDK script can be used to add client metadata to specific data units in a Dataset.
Create a JSON file
Create a JSON for specifying the editor layout that suits your needs.
In the JSON file below:
-
The
grid
arrangement is configured to display two files side by side in the Label Editor. -
The
gridContent
section specifies that tasks in either position (0 or 1) can have client metadata values forencord-EditorGridPosition
set to eitherA
orB
. -
The
topLevelGridFilter
is defined asencord-LayoutGroup
, meaning tasks with matchingencord-LayoutGroup
metadata values are displayed together in the Label Editor, ensuring they appear side by side when they share the sameencord-LayoutGroup
values.
Create a JSON file
Upload the JSON file to your Project in Encord.
- Navigate to the Project settings.
- Click on Layouts.
- Click Upload JSON.
- Select the JSON file containing the layout you want the Label Editor to have.
Create a JSON file
Open any task in the task queue of your Project.
The JSON file in this example results in the following Label Editor layout.
Delete Project
You can delete your Project by going to the Danger zone tab of the Project settings.
To delete a Project, click the red Delete project button.
Deleting your Project does not delete the Datasets attached to the Project, but it does delete the Project’s labels and Ontology.
