​
Cloud Synced Folders - General Release!

  • Data Registration: We’ve expanded the automated cloud synced folder functionality to cover all single file data types, now including audio, PDF, and text files alongside visual data. This enhancement eliminates the need for manual SDK data uploads and separate JSON file processes, immensely reducing the time it takes to register your data with Encord. Note that DICOM and image groups are still not supported in cloud-synced folders.
  • SDK Support: You can now create and sync cloud-synced folders using the SDK, enabling you to manage their entire lifecycle programmatically.

​
Organization Analytics

The new Organization Analytics provide actionable insights into your Organization’s performance and activity, including:
  • Activity: Monitor overall organizational engagement.
  • Collaborators: Offers analytics for each organization member across all Projects.
  • Projects: Provides analytics for all Projects in your Organization.

​
Training Projects

Annotator Training: You can now use workflow Projects to create annotator training Projects for assessing and upskilling your annotation workforces. This was previously only possible using the now deprecated Manual QA Projects. Learn how to create annotator training Projects here.

​
Project Tag Management

Centralized Project Tag Management: Create, manage, and track all your Project Tags in a single, consolidated view. Project tags help you easily group and find your Projects. Additionally, you can track and analyze your Projects by tags within the new Organization Analytics.

​
Label Editor Improvements

  • Nested Classifications Behavior: Nested classifications and attributes are now closed by default. This change makes deeply nested Ontologies more manageable and improves the initial look of complex annotation interfaces. For those who prefer the previous behavior, a new option in the Label Editor settings allows you to revert to the always-expanded view.
  • Relation Attributes: We’ve improved the Relation Attributes user experience. Objects linked using Relation Attributes now display arrows, visually indicating their relationship and making it easier to understand that object labels are connected.
  • Multiple Label Selection: Multiple labels can now be selected and reviewed at the same time, accelerating your review workflows.

​
SDK Updates

  • SDK Timers: Programmatically use SDK timers to view the time spent on your Projects, Stages, Tasks, individual Users, and more. This granular control provides valuable insights for optimizing your annotation workflows.
  • Issues & Comments: You can now add and manage issues and comments directly using the SDK.
  • Project Status: Programmatically change the status of your Projects with the SDK.
  • Agent Action Tracking: We’ve added last_actioned_by to agents, providing better visibility into which agent performed the last action on a task.
  • SDK Support for cloud synced folders: You can now create and sync cloud-synced folders using the SDK.
