How to design this categories for text annotation?

[Roxanne0330]

Thank you, Reckart! Could you help me to design this annotation categories? I have tried but couldn't get the right design. Look forward to your reply!

The system tries to make a good decision for the visualization based on your setting - but these decisions may not be sensible in all cases - e.g. when you have a lot of features with tagsets.

Go to the Layers panel in the project settings, select the layer/feature you want to edit and for those features where you currently see a choice list (e.g. `KAT-Rolle) change e.g. the Editor type property from Auto to Combo-box if you want to have a more compact layout.

You might also consider if it makes sense having all these features on a single layer (i.e. if they apply to the same kind of "thing"/text span) or if it may be more convenient to split some of them out to other layers.

For the Kommentar feature, I would recommend enabling the Multiple rows and Show in tooltip popup options in the feature details and disabling the Curatable and Visible options there.

Thank you, Reckart! I still have trouble with adding new features under one layer or should I put different categories like KAT 1 and KAT 2 under two different layers? Could you give me an example instruction an KAT 1? I don't know how to design.

Typically, you would create a layer for a "kind of things" like "Part-of-Speech" or "Named Entity" or "Sentiment" or such. And then you would add the feature(s) of that thing. I would also have to get a good understanding of the domain you want to model and then possibly try out several ways of modeling it.
