Create an Issue

During a QA task, the QA tester, often the annotation manager, reviews the completed annotations for accuracy and quality. If issues are identified in specific annotations, the tester documents these problems by opening issues within the platform, ensuring that the concerns are tracked and addressed for resolution.

Note Assignment Warning

Some assignees may no longer be part of the project.

  • If you assign the note to a deactivated user, it will still be linked to their original labeling assignment.

  • Consider selecting an active user or handle the note directly from the assignment screen.

To create an issue,

  1. In the Annotation Studio, during the QA review of an annotation task, hover over the annotation in the annotation list.

  2. Click on the Open Issue (caution) icon. A red caution icon will appear on the annotation. This icon will also be displayed in the task list under a separate column.

  3. To add a note to the issue, see the Create a Note article.
