Task template

Content groups, input and output columns, cascading select, visual vs JSON editor, and CSV parse settings.

Updated View as Markdown

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.
Description Hint for annotators / field-mapping at upload.
Dropdown options Required when type is dropdown. Comma-separated values.
Group Only for image_url, audio_url, video_url.

Click + Add input column, or drag to reorder.

Input column editor

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).

Output column editor

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 select configuration

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
