| Parameter | Overview | Found in the block |
|---|---|---|
| Pool name | The pool name shown only to you (as a requester) on the project page. | General information |
| Public description | Will be displayed instead of the project description in the task list for Tolokers and linked training. | General information |
| Private comment | If necessary, you can add a private pool description that will only be available to you. | General information |
| Price per task suite, $ | Payment per task suite in US dollars. For cents, use the dot (".") as a separator. If the Pool type is General tasks, the minimum price per task suite is $0.005. For other pool types, you can set the price to zero. To learn more about price management, go to Setting up pricing. | Price |
| Overlap | The number of Tolokers who should complete each task in the pool. Configure this parameter if you need several people to complete your task. Overlap is necessary in tasks for collecting photo datasets, recording audio, or conducting surveys. In other types of tasks, it can improve the quality of results. To save money, you can set up dynamic overlap (also known as incremental relabeling or IRL). Learn more. | Price |
| My tasks may contain shocking or pornographic content | Whether the tasks have some content which can be marked as adult, including shocking or pornographic content. Tasks with such content are only given to Tolokers who agree to complete these types of tasks. If you aren't sure whether the tasks have such content, enable this option. | Audience |
| Filters | By setting the filters, you choose Tolokers that meet your requirements to complete your task. There are filters by various criteria, and filters by skills that you can create yourself. You can filter Tolokers by language, country, city, and so on. Learn more If you give training tasks to Tolokers, you can add a skill to the pool to choose Tolokers who already completed training. Learn more about skills | Audience |
| Speed/quality balance | A setting for choosing Tolokers for your tasks. If you want to get responses very quickly, the quality may be doubtful. If you want very high quality, be prepared to wait longer. Find a balance that meets your needs. Learn more. | Audience |
| Review task responses manually | Turn on this option to review the completed tasks manually. Set the time period when you can check the tasks and reject them if the results are poor. To learn more about manual review, go to Reviewing assignments. | Quality control |
| Training | This field is only available if you have training pools in the project. Training pool that will be linked to the main one. | Quality control |
| Level required, % | This field is only available if you have filled in the Training field. Percentage of correct responses in training tasks (from 0 to 100) required to be admitted to the pool tasks. The calculation is based on the first response the Toloker gave in each task. The minimum required level that you can set is 5. Tolokers who complete training with apercentage below this level won't have access to tasks. | Quality control |
| General tasks | The number of general tasks per suite. | Smart mixing |
| Control tasks | The number of control tasks per suite. | Smart mixing |
| Training tasks | The number of training tasks per suite. | Smart mixing |
| Min general tasks | The minimum number of general tasks per suite. | Smart mixing |
| Min control tasks | The minimum number of control tasks per suite. | Smart mixing |
| Min training tasks | The minimum number of training tasks per suite. | Smart mixing |
| Allow partial task suites | Note This option is available only if the Smart mixing method is selected. By default, the option is enabled. | Smart mixing |
| Keep task order from uploaded data | Note This option is available only if the Smart mixing method is selected. Option disabled (default value)The uploaded tasks are grouped in suites and given to Tolokers in random order. Within the suite, the task order is always random. Example Option enabledTasks will be grouped on suites in the order they are listed in the task file. Example If the pool has an overlap, the next task is distributed only when the previous task is completed by the necessary number of Tolokers. Use this parameter to:
| Smart mixing |
| Review period in days | The number of days for reviewing and accepting tasks (max: 21). The Toloker will see the deadline for checking the tasks:
| Quality control |
| Dynamic pricing | This parameter allows you to vary the task price depending on the Toloker's skill level. Learn more | Dynamic pricing and overlap |
| Dynamic overlap | You can use this parameter if you specify fixed values for the input data fields. It lets you save your budget and avoid setting fixed overlap for all pool tasks. You set the range, the service analyzes the responses, their consistency, the level of Tolokers' skills and, if necessary, increases the overlap within the range you specified. | Dynamic pricing and overlap |
| Pool priority within the project | Number from 0 to 100. Allows you to rank a pool within a project. First, a Toloker is assigned tasks from a pool with higher priority. | Additional settings |
| Time per task suite, sec | The time allowed for completing a task suite, in seconds. Uncompleted tasks are redistributed to other Tolokers. We recommend spending no more than 60 seconds per task (including the time for page loading and sending responses). If you set the interval too long, the tasks will stay open for a long time. If it is too short, the tasks won't be completed and paid for. | Additional settings |
| Keep pool open after completion, sec | The interval during which the pool will remain open from the moment all tasks are completed. Minimum — 0 (1 if you use dynamic overlap), maximum — 259200 seconds (three days). For example, you can use this parameter if you need an open pool where you regularly upload new tasks. | Additional settings |
| Pool closing date | The date the pool closes. The pool closes automatically on this date, even if the tasks aren't marked up. | Additional settings |
| Pool type | Specify the pool type:
Note If the price per task suite is zero, you must select the pool type. | Additional settings |
