Introduction to job files
A job file is filled with instructions to process your Label Studio job. The job file
tells Label Studio how to generate labels from input files that you provide.
Job files are organized into groups of parameters called blocks. Each parameter
and its value instruct Label Studio as to which records to generate labels for,
which reports to generate, where to put the generated labels and reports, and so
on.
Job Editor window When you work on a job file, Label Studio displays the job in a two-part window,
called the Job Editor window. On the left, there’s a diagram of all the blocks in
the job file. You can select any one, and Label Studio displays to the right, each
parameter associated with that block and its setting. For example, the Execution
Options block is selected and its parameters appear on the right.
Job file blocks When you double-click a block, Label Studio provides an interface to define your
parameters. There is no need to pay attention to what the job file actually looks
like.
When you open an
existing job file, its set-
tings appear in the Job
Editor window.
When you set up a
job, Label Studio
automatically saves
it for you in a job
file.
