titleField Types in Taskmonk

Field Type

Description

Implications of Using this Data Type in Taskmonk

Text

String data

 

Domain

The URL of a domain.

 

DropDown

Contains a list of values separated by commas.

Taskmonk allows the user to select only one option from the list of values, which is displayed as a drop-down list.

MultiSelect DropDown

Contains a list of values separated by commas.

Taskmonk allows the user to select only multiple options from the list of values, which is displayed as a series of check boxes or a drop-down, depending on how the output field is configured..

Date

Date value.

 

Radio

Contains a list of values separated by commas.

Taskmonk allows the user to select only one option from the list of values, which is displayed as a series of radio buttons.

LinkedField(Parent)

Contains a list of values separated by commas. Each of these values can have associated list of values (LoVs).

Taskmonk uses data of this data type to create drop-down lists where, once a user makes a selection, associated child LoVs appear in a separate drop-down list.

LinkedField(Child)

Contains a list of values separated by commas. Each of these lists is a child list associated with a parent linked field.

Taskmonk associates data of this data type to a parent linked field, and when that parent linked field is selected, the associated child LoVs appear in a separate drop-down list.

InputLinked

Use this field type when you want the labeler to select one option from a set of possibilities for a specific attribute.

If a pencil manufacturing company decides to package a sharpener or eraser with every box of pencils, the labeler should have a field labeled “Free Gift” and select “Sharpener” or “Eraser” from the list of options available. For step-by-step details on creating input-linked fields, see Creating Input-linked fields.

Notes

Contains paragraph text that is associated with the item that must be labeled.

 

Curation

This creates an empty field in the labeling UI, which must be filled using the curation values that you configured in Taskmonk.

 

Curation_PT

This is a curation field that enables the labeler to select the product type. You must associate this field with the Product Type column header in your curation file.

Taskmonk picks up the list of product types and displays them as drop-down options. Depending on the product type option that you choose, Taskmonk displays product type attributes, sourcing these options from the attributes that you mapped in your curation file.

For example, let’s say you have a product type called Pens & Pencils in the Product Type column in your curation file, and you associated the attribute displayColor to this product type, marking it as a closed list that can take only one value. In the Attributes Closed List, you define Red, Blue, and Black as values for the displayColor attribute.

Taskmonk displays the Product Type field as a drop-down list from which you pick Pens & Pencils. Taskmonk now lists out the attributes associated with this product type, of which, displayColor is one. You can now click the displayColor field and select Red, Blue, or Black as values for the displayColor attribute.

Taxonomy

These appear as placeholder read-only fields, which Taskmonk fills for you using values in your Taxonomy input file once you select a unique taxonomy entity for labeling.

Hybrid

This is a text input field with Dropdown optionTaskmonk allows the user to select combined with a dropdown list. It allows users to either type their input or select from predefined options.

In Taskmonk, users can choose only one option from the a list of values ,. When they give enter “(“ this in dropdown all drop-down list will be displayed, the dropdown menu will reveal all the available options.

Name-Value Pair

This component includes sub fields

In Taskmonk, the "NV Pair Field" component has includes a subfield configurable that can be customized as a text input, dropdown, or multi-dropdown, with . It supports both mandatory and flexible width optionssettings.

Dynamic Field

This is a flexible output field

In Taskmonk it takes JSON data and displays different widgets on task pages, often used in chat evaluation and product ranking projects. It supports various widget types like Text, Image, and OptionedMessage, and generates the necessary output JSON using custom code and updateOutputField

Color Selection

It displays color based on dropdown values

In Taskmonk, for Text projects, this feature in Text projects allows an output field to display colors based on according to dropdown valuesselections, supporting both color names and hex codes.
