Plugin Functionality

The CSV Export for Classification plugin enables users to export structured classification data from their projects into a clean, customizable CSV format. It offers flexible configuration options to tailor the exported data according to analytical or reporting needs.

• Supports multiple header formatting modes, allowing users to choose between schema titles, IDs, or combined formats for better readability and compatibility.

• Provides the option to merge identical columns for simpler data representation, or keep them separate for detailed analysis.

• Can include or exclude alternative answers, ensuring the exported data reflects exactly the level of detail required.

• Offers full control over which columns are included or ignored in the final CSV output, helping reduce clutter and focus on relevant information.

• Can export data in either a standard or unpivoted (normalized) table format to fit diverse analytical workflows.

• Supports exporting annotations that contain multiple answers per item, maintaining flexibility for complex labeling scenarios.

Plugin Configuration

From the Stage Filter field, pick the stages containing the tasks you'd like to get the export of. Similarly, from the Batch Filter field, you may select one or more batches the tasks of which will be exported. By default, all tasks are exported from all batches.

If you wish to receive an email when the export is complete, toggle Send Email on.
