Assigning hot keys to labels¶
Hot keys are used to easily jump from one label to another. Here are the steps to follow when assigning hot keys:
- On the Scout homepage, click Labels.
- On the Label manager window, users will see the list of labels to which users can assign hotkeys. Note: If a label needed is unavailable, users can add their own.
- Click Edit.
- Select the preferred hot key from the dropdown list.
- Click Save to save all the changes. Note: Labels without assigned hot keys will not show up in the Shortcut Keys box during an annotation or ground truth task.
Adding a label¶
Adding new labels (classifications) is useful for future model retraining but does not add classifications to the current Scout version. Here are the steps to follow when adding a label:
- On the Scout homepage, click the Labels button.
- On the Label manager window, click the +ADD NEW LABELS button.
- Enter the label on the space provided, and use the dropdown list to assign a hot key. Note: Labels without assigned hotkeys will not show up in the Shortcut Keys box during an annotation or ground truth task.
- Click Save to save all the changes.
It is recommended that you create an “Unknown” label for any annotations that cannot be classified on sight for future model training precision.
