Skipping tasks
The Skip action is available when viewing tasks through the labeling stream (selecting Label All Tasks or Label Tasks as Displayed instead of clicking tasks in the Data Manager).
Configure task skipping
Whether annotators can skip tasks, and what should happen to skipped tasks, is configurable the following settings:
While you can disallow skipping entirely from the project settings, if you want to have specific tasks be unskippable, you will need to configure that by adding a special key as part of the JSON task definition that you import to your project.
Individual unskippable tasks
To make an individual task unskippable, specify "allow_skip": false as part of the JSON task definition that you import to your project.
For example, the following JSON snippet would result in one skippable task and one unskippable task:
[
{
"data": {
"text": "Demo text 1"
},
"allow_skip": false
},
{
"data": {
"text": "Demo text 2"
}
}
]note
Managers, Admins, and Owners can still skip these tasks. Only Annotators and Reviewers cannot skip tasks that have been marked unskippable using this method.
Tip
Use the Allow Skip column to see which tasks have skipping disabled and filter for unskippable tasks. This column is hidden by default and is only visible to Managers, Admins, and Owners.
