Annotation Sets

Annotation set is a group of annotations for a single AV file. In the end-user interface, visitors can filter annotations based on these sets. Annotation sets might be organized to include one for transcripts and another for notes, or one in English and another in Spanish, or one created by Manuel and another by Laura.

Creating and Modifying Annotation Sets

When annotations are added to an event, AVAnnotate creates a ‘Default’ annotation set through Event settings.

The ‘Default’ annotation set can be renamed but cannot be deleted. If the user wants to delete the default annotation set (even when it is renamed), they must create a new set. Once annotations are added to the event, there must be at least one annotation set.
