# Create Project

Start annotating your data right away

Once inside the selected workspace, you will see the Workspace Dashboard, which typically includes:

* List of existing projects
* Project status overview
* Quick actions like Create Project

### **Open the Project Creation Wizard**

* Click Create Project to start the setup wizard.

The project creation wizard generally consists of the following guided steps:

1. Project Details
2. Upload Images
3. Annotation Settings
4. Assign Team Members
5. Review & Confirm

***

### **Select Data Modality Type**

You will first be asked to select the data modality or task type for your project.

Available modalities:

* Image (General Image Annotation)
* Satellite Imagery
* Medical Imagery (DICOM)
* 3D Point Cloud (LiDAR)

**For this workflow:**\
Select Image (General Image Annotation) (the first option).

***

### **Fill Project Details**

Provide the basic metadata for your project:

* Project Name → required
* Description → optional
* Tags → optional keywords for organization and search

**Examples:**

* [**Project Name:** Street Scene Object Detection](#user-content-fn-1)[^1]
* [**Description:** Bounding box annotation for cars and pedestrians in urban scenes](#user-content-fn-1)[^1]
* [**Tags:** street, vehicles, object-detection](#user-content-fn-1)[^1]

Click Next to proceed.

These details help you quickly identify and manage the project within larger workspaces that may contain multiple datasets and projects.

## **Round Robin Distribution for Annotators and Reviewers**

### Overview

Round Robin Distribution ensures that annotation and review tasks are evenly assigned among available users in a cyclic order. This approach helps balance the workload and prevents any single user from being overloaded with tasks.

### How It Works

#### 1. Annotator Round Robin Assignment

* When new annotation tasks are created, they are assigned to annotators in a sequential manner.
* Example (with three annotators: A, B, and C):
  * Task 1 → Annotator A
  * Task 2 → Annotator B
  * Task 3 → Annotator C
  * Task 4 → Annotator A (cycle repeats)
* If an annotator is unavailable (inactive or removed), the system skips them and assigns the task to the next available user.

#### 2. Reviewer Round Robin Assignment

* After an annotator completes a task, it is assigned to a reviewer using the same Round Robin method.
* Example (with two reviewers: X and Y):
  * Task 1 (Annotated) → Reviewer X
  * Task 2 (Annotated) → Reviewer Y
  * Task 3 (Annotated) → Reviewer X (cycle continues)
* If a reviewer is unavailable, the next available reviewer takes over.

### Key Features

✅ Fair Workload Distribution – No single user gets an uneven number of tasks.\
✅ Automatic Skipping – Inactive or unavailable users are bypassed.\
✅ Real-time Adjustments – If a new user joins mid-cycle, they are included in the next rotation.

### Scenarios & Edge Cases

* If all annotators or reviewers are unavailable, tasks remain unassigned until a user is available.
* If an annotator or reviewer leaves a project, the system dynamically redistributes their tasks.

For detailed guidance on creating a project for annotation, please refer to the attached video tutorial. This video demonstrates the step-by-step process, including selecting the data modality and finalizing the project setup.

The Project Settings page allows users to view and modify project details.\
&#x20;

* Project creator can create class during the project creation process and enable/disable  annotators to create new classes or during annotation.
* Project creator can enable/disable AI-Assist feature for Annotators&#x20;
