Annotate traces

This topic explains how you can annotate trace datasets. Once you have uploaded a trace dataset, you can begin annotating it.

1. Create a batch for the trace dataset through a Benchmark or directly from Dataset > Batches.

   note

   In the batch creation modal from Datasets, the data selection will show the number of traces and datapoints (i.e. total steps across all traces) for the batch.

2. Annotate against a trace dataset.

   1. Select Annotate for a traces batch to go to the Trace view.
   2. Apply each label schema at an individual step of a trace.
   3. Select a step to annotate on by searching, filtering, or directly selecting a step from the Trace navigator on the left.
   tip

   While global trace-level annotation isn't available, you can achieve the same goal by annotating at the Root step.

3. Commit the ground truth for a trace dataset. To do so, aggregate and commit ground truth for the batch of traces, just like any other dataset.

The committed ground truth will now appear in your associated benchmark(s) for analysis.
