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).
When you skip a task, the task is removed from your labeling queue.
If another annotator is also working through the labeling queue, they will see the skipped task instead. If all annotators skip a task, it remains incomplete.
You can see which tasks have been skipped using the Cancelled column in the Data Manager.
Enterprise
Task skipping, and how tasks can be skipped, is highly configurable in Label Studio Enterprise and Starter Cloud. For more information, see the Enterprise documentation.
To make tasks unskippable, you can include a special key in 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"
}
}
]Tip
Use the Allow Skip column to see which tasks have skipping disabled and filter for unskippable tasks.
