Active Collections

Filter Presets

Filter presets are saved groups of filter criteria that you can reuse across Active.

Create Filter Preset

Create a Filter Preset based on raw JSON.

For more information on creating your own filter presets using the SDK, contact us at support@encord.com

Collections

Active supports two types of Collections: Frame Collections and Label Collections. Frame Collections are groups of frames (images and video frames) you selected by filtering, sorting, inspecting, and analyzing the data units in Active. Label Collections are groups of labels, on your frames (images and video frames), that you selected by filtering, sorting, inspecting, and analyzing the labels on your data units in Active.

List Collections

List all Collections in an Active Project by name with their unique identifier.

Add Items to a Collection

You need the data hash of the data units in your Annotate Project to add the data units to an Active Collection.

Get Data ID

# Import dependencies

)


# Specify Project. Replace <project_hash> with the hash of your Project.
project = user_client.get_project(PROJECT_ID)

# Get label rows for your Project
label_rows = project.list_label_rows_v2()

# Iterate through label rows and print data hashes and titles
for label_row in label_rows:
    print(f"Data hash: {label_row.data_hash}")
    print(f"Data title: {label_row.data_title}")
    print("---")  # Separator for readability

Get Annotation ID

You need the Data ID, frame number, AND the Annotation ID (Object Hash) for the label or classification you want to add to the LABEL Collection.The following code gets the Annotation ID for all the labels in an Annotate Project

project = user_client.get_project(PROJECT_ID)

# Get label rows for your Project
label_rows = project.list_label_rows_v2()

# Iterate through label rows and print data hashes, titles, and label hashes
for label_row in label_rows:
    print(f"Data hash: {label_row.data_hash}")

# Print the success message
print(f"Added items to collection {COLLECTION_ID}.")

# Check if there were any failed items
if isinstance(response, ProjectCollectionBulkItemResponse):
    failed_items = response.failed_items
    if failed_items:
        print("The following items failed to be added to the collection:")
        for failed_item in failed_items:
            # Assuming failed_item is an instance of either ProjectDataCollectionItemRequest or ProjectLabelCollectionItemRequest
