Job Assignment

In a maker or an editor step, jobs get randomly assigned to users by default.

You can also manually assign a set of jobs to an annotator, or reassign a job to someone else if an annotator is not actively working on the job.

The Job assignment table shows:

a) Job ID: ID of the job.

b) User ID: Annotator who is working on the Job.

c) Type: Assignment type for the job. It is random by default and changes to manual if you assign or reassign the job to another annotator.

d) Last updated: The time an annotator was last seen active on the job.

e) Last assigned: The time a job was last assigned to an annotator.

f) Status: The current status of the job, it can be:

• Not started: If the annotator has not started working on the Job.

• Saved: If the annotator saves and exits.

• Live: The user is currently working on the job.

• Exited: If the annotator exits and discards any changes made.

g) Time spent: Total time spent on the job.

Tips: If you reassign a job to another annotator, the work done on the job gets saved. Thus, the new annotator can continue where the original annotator left.
