If you'd like to learn more about using the Insights tool with LLMs and GenAI projects, read here.

insights

The Insights feature is a flexible and easy to use tool for measuring and reviewing your team’s performance and project status in an in-depth manner during project curation. You also have the ability to compare data through different charts to help you visualize the information easily.

📘

The Insights tab is available for the following roles: Team Owners, Team Admins, and Project Admins.

🚧

In case of group projects, the Insights tab will only show information on the project visible within the group’s data scope.

Items

Parameters

You can look into your project’s item status thoroughly using Insights. You can do so by setting a number of parameters to filter the status and information on all items within your project. These are the parameters available.

Measure

Through this parameter, you can look into the different measurements of your items, such as count, time spent, metadata, and the length or duration of item.

Measure (y-axis)ImageTextVideo
Count (default parameter)
Instance Count
Annotation Time
[Role_Name] Time
Total Time
Custom Metadata (number type)
Text Length
Video Duration

The [Role_Name] Time refers to the amount of time spent on the project by a user with the role in question. In this case, [Role_Name] will be the name of any role available within your project’s workflow, and it’ll display their corresponding working time. You’ll see each individual role’s name in this drop-down list.

Breakdown

You can get a breakdown of your items by looking into the general information about them, including their current status, the folder they belong to, the contributors that worked on them, and more.

Status (default parameter)
Folder Name
Approval Status
[Role_Name] Name
Admin Name
[Role_Name] Date
Last Action Date
Custom Metadata (strings)
Instance Count
Keyframe Count

📘

  • The [Role_Name] Name parameter refers to the name of any assignee with any role available in your project. For example, if you have three roles (Annotator, TextEditor, and Reviewer), you’ll see their options individually in this drop-down list as follows: Annotator Name, TextEditor Name, Reviewer Name.
  • The [Role_Name] Date refers to the timestamp of any person with the corresponding role that worked on the project in the editor.
  • The [Role_Name] Name, and Admin Name parameters will bring you results of any users with the corresponding roles that have worked on the items you're querying, regardless of their current assignment.

Compare by

Insights gives you the ability to compare your metrics in a number of ways and display the differences clearly. The parameters you can select from are the same as the Breakdown list, excluding all date-related parameters.

Instances

Parameters

You can look into your project’s instance status thoroughly using Insights. You can do so by setting a number of parameters to filter the status and information on all instances within your project. These are the parameters available.

Measure

Through this parameter, you can look into the different measurements of your instances, such as count, probability, attribute count, polygon and point count, and length or duration of instance.

  2. Day (default bin size)
  3. Week
  4. Month

📘

This filter is only available if one of the following breakdown parameters is selected:

  • For items: Annotation date, QA date, or Last action date.
  • For instances: Created At or Updated At.

Download data

To download your data, click the download button in the top right corner. The download file is a CSV file which consists of a table with 2 columns if no comparison is selected.

  • Column 1: Breakdown parameter
  • Column 2: Calculation parameter + calculation method

The number of rows is equal to the count of breakdown parameters for each item/instance.

If you have a comparison parameter selected, the downloaded CSV file is a matrix where the rows represent the breakdown parameters and the columns represent the comparison parameters.

The data in each cell of a matrix represents the calculation parameter + the calculation method for each item/instance group of the (breakdown + comparison) parameter.
