Skipped assignments

  1. Overview
  2. Request body

Overview

Skipping tasks is considered an indirect indicator of the quality of responses. You can block access to a pool or project if a user skips multiple task suites in a row. To do this, set key values in the quality_control.configs array in the pool settings.

Request body

You can block a performer from accessing the project for a given number of days, hours, minutes (at a time or in total) or forever, if they skip 10 task suites in a row.

Ban for 10 days

Parameter Overview
configs[]

array of objects | required

Array of quality control settings.
configs.collector_config

object | required

Parameters for collecting statistics (for example, the number of tasks skipped in the pool).
configs.collector_config.type

string | required

Criteria for the quality control rule:

  • GOLDEN_SET — The number of correct and incorrect responses in the control tasks.

  • MAJORITY_VOTE — The percentage of responses that matched the majority vote.

  • CAPTCHA — The number of captchas entered successfully and unsuccessfully.

  • INCOME — Payment for tasks completed by the user over the past 24 hours.

  • SKIPPED_IN_ROW_ASSIGNMENTS — The number of task suites skipped in a row.

  • ANSWER_COUNT — The number of task suites completed by the user in the pool.

  • ASSIGNMENT_SUBMIT_TIME — The number of “fast” responses (the minimum response speed is set in the parameters).

  • ACCEPTANCE_RATE — The percentage of user responses that were rejected during non-automatic acceptance.

  • ASSIGNMENTS_ASSESSMENT — The number of assignments accepted or rejected with non-automatic acceptance enabled.

  • USERS_ASSESSMENT — The performer's skill value and their bans.
configs.rules.conditions

object | required

Conditions (for example, 10 task suites skipped in a row). Multiple conditions are combined with the “OR” operator.
configs.rules.conditions.key

string | required

Values that are checked in the condition:

  • skipped_in_row_count — The number of tasks skipped in a row.
configs.rules.conditions. operator

string | required

Comparison operator (the key data is compared with the threshold value from value):

  • EQ (“Equal”) — Equal to.

  • NE (“Not equal to”) — Not equal to.

  • GT (“Greater than”) — Greater than.

  • LT (“Less than”) — Less than.

  • GTE (“Greater than equal to”) — Greater than or equal to.

  • LTE (“Less than equal to”) — Less than or equal to.

integer | required

The threshold value of the variable specified in key.

Type of action:

  • CHANGE_OVERLAP — Change the overlap. For example, to re-assign a task suite to other performers or cancel the recompletion of already accepted assignments.

  • REJECT_ALL_ASSIGNMENTS — Reject all performer responses. For example, after a certain number of performer responses, it became clear that the performer completed tasks poorly.

  • APPROVE_ALL_ASSIGNMENTS — Accept all performer responses. For example, if the performer completes most tasks well and you are satisfied with this result.
