CSV Export for Tools

Overview

The CSV Export for Tools plugin is an export plugin that downloads annotations, classifications, and relations from your project in a tabular CSV format.

Use this plugin when you need a flat spreadsheet-friendly export of labeling results, including tool names, schema IDs, object IDs, answers, and optional page-level information for video and multi-page assets.

Plugin Configuration

From the Stage Filter field, pick the stages containing the tasks you'd like to export. Similarly, from the Batch Filter field, you may select one or more batches whose tasks 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.

You may vary a number of settings related to your export from the Config JSON field. Each option is detailed below:

{
  "include_key_frames_only": true,
  "additional_attribute_name": null,
  "verbose": false,
  "verbose_frequency": 1000
}

• "include_key_frames_only": Included in the default configuration for consistency with video export plugins. The CSV Export for Tools plugin exports the annotation data it receives from the selected export scope.

  • Example:

    • "include_key_frames_only": true

    • "include_key_frames_only": false

• "additional_attribute_name": Defines an optional nested classification name to include as an additional attribute column for tool annotations and relation rows.

  • Example:

    • "additional_attribute_name": null

    • "additional_attribute_name": "Object ID"

• "verbose": Enables progress logs while the export is running.

  • Example:

    • "verbose": true

    • "verbose": false

• "verbose_frequency": Defines how frequently progress logs are displayed when verbose logging is enabled.

  • Example:

    • "verbose_frequency": 1000
