Instructions

Instructions, as they are used here, are a way to make the directives given to annotators simple and reusable. When an Annotator opens an AnnotationTask, the first thing they see is a pop-up containing the Instructions selected when creating the AnnotationTask.

To create new Instructions, to to the *Instructions tab (seen in Figure 1) and, above the table, click on the "Create Instruction" button. There you have to fill out three fields you can see in Figure 2:

  • Title
    • the name of the Instruction
  • Description
    • a short description of the Instruction, one can see in the table
  • Content
    • the actual instructions the Annotator sees

Futhermore, the right window will give a preview of how the content is displayed for the user, as you can use markdown- language there, to style and adapt the Instructions.
