Batches and Jobs
A batch represents a group of labeling jobs. Uploading your data in batches will help you manage your labeling jobs more efficiently over the course of the project. With batches you can:
Organize labeling jobs based on location, date, or other parameters.
Efficiently manage high-volume projects in batch-sized chunks.
A Job is a unit of data that requires annotations.
For image annotation projects, a job will represent an image.
For video annotation or LiDAR projects, a job will represent a sequence of images (or point cloud frames).
Batch Overview
Under the batches section, you'll find the list of batches along with their status and progress.
Creating Jobs
We support two ways of creating jobs:
1. Media Upload
Go to the Batches tab and click on Add new batch, provide the name and description for the new batch.
Click on Upload data using .zip file, follow the instructions displayed to create a zip file.
Once the data is uploaded, click on Create Jobs to send jobs to the workflow created in the previous step.
Note: You can only upload up to 1 GB of data from one zip file using Media Upload. For more than 1 GB of data, you can either create multiple ZIP files or go with the API method.
2. API
You can also create jobs using our Job creation APIs. For uploading pre-labeled data, API is the only supported method.
You can refer to this API documentation: https://docs.playment.io/
Batch Status
Inactive - These are batches where no Jobs have been created yet. You may have shared the data with us, but we may not have initiated the Jobs on our end
Completed - These are batches where all the Jobs have been submitted to you.
Active - These are batches with ongoing Jobs. You can monitor the progress of the Active batches by looking at the Jobs completed column or if it's a video project, even the frames completed column to understand how much of the work has already been submitted.
