Data

  1. Click the Data button.
  2. Select your data source:
    • Folder: One folder can be attached to a Project at a time. Optionally filter the folder so only matching files are included in the Project.
    • Dataset: One or more Datasets can be attached to a Project.
All files from the folder and Datasets you attach to the Project are available for annotation in the Project.

Continuous Data Flow

If a cloud-synced folder is attached to the Project, you can enable continuous data flow. Any new files added to the cloud-synced folder will automatically flow into the Project. New files are filtered using the same rules before being added.
Continuous data flow requires Auto Sync to be enabled. If Auto Sync is not enabled, a toggle is displayed allowing you to switch it on.
