## LocalImport Objects

```python theme={"dark"}
@dataclass
class LocalImport()
```

file\_path:
Supply the path of the exported folder which contains the images and `annotations.xml` file. Make
sure to select "Save images" when exporting your CVAT Task or Project.
transform\_file\_names:

"name" parameter of CVAT image.
If it is not, user can supply transform\_file\_names function that maps filename to the image name.

#### ImportMethod

Using images/videos in cloud storage as an alternative import method will be supported in the future.

## Issue Objects

```python theme={"dark"}
@dataclass
class Issue()

list can provide additional information on how the issue was encountered. If there is no additional information
available, the `instances` list will be empty.

```python theme={"dark"}
@dataclass
class Issues()

on different platforms.
