The template tells BergFlow what your CSV looks like and what annotators fill in. Choose a task type first, then configure the pieces below.
Content groups
On Custom and customisable templates, a content group bundles related media (image, audio, or video) into one viewer instead of scattering fields.
Examples:
- “Before / After”: two images side by side
- “Product gallery”: several images for one listing
- “Evidence”: audio and video together
Click + Add group, name it, optional description. On image_url / audio_url / video_url inputs, assign the group from the column dropdown.

Input columns
Inputs are columns that arrive in the uploaded CSV/Excel.
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | Column header. |
| Type | string, number, boolean, object, dropdown, image_url, image_name, audio_url, video_url, resource_url. |
| Required | Must be present on every row. |

Output columns
Outputs are what annotators fill in:
- string: single line
- textarea: multi line
- number
- boolean: true/false
- dropdown: single select
- checklist: multi select
- cascading_select: dependent dropdowns
Dropdown and checklist need an options list. Any output can be required (cannot submit empty).

Cascading select and bounding boxes
Cascading select renders linked dropdowns (for example Country, then State, then City). Each level becomes its own column in the delivery CSV. Configure:
- Option tree
- Export keys (for example
country,state,city) - Level labels shown to annotators
cascading-selectCDN URL TBD
Bounding box is an output flag: the annotator draws a rectangle on a linked image. Coordinates export as JSON on delivery.
Visual vs JSON editor
Toggle Visual / JSON at the top of the editor:
- Visual is the form UI for columns and groups.
- JSON lets you edit the template JSON (paste from another project; useful for power users).
Export next to task type downloads the current template as JSON.
CSV settings
Above the editor:
- Delimiter: comma, semicolon, tab, or pipe
- Encoding: UTF-8, UTF-16, or Latin-1
- Header row: first row is a header
- Skip empty lines
