uploading documents with predefined annotations automatically approve

[jwijffels]

I'm using inception for annotating alongside pycaprio to enable some custom flows.
In my setting I have a batch process which does the annotation of texts using a named entity recognition model and I'm uploading the data back to Inception in XMI format.
That works ok, I would like to be able to automatically put these uploaded xmi documents with pycaprio in Documentstate 'ANNOTATION-COMPLETE' and the annotations in it as annotation state COMPLETE such that it can just be curated.
When doing the document upload with pycaprio something alike the following the document gets updated but the annotations which are in the cas do not automatically get set to COMPLETE, how do I do that (either in the inception UI or with pycaprio)?

data.cas.iloc[i].to_xmi(path = xmi)
            with open(xmi, 'rb') as content:
                msg = client.api.create_document(project = project_id, document_name = doc_id, 
                                                 document_format = document_format, 
                                                 content = content, document_state = document_state)

I'm looking for a button which directly does approve all annotations which are in the xmi to either the COMPLETE or IN-PROGRESS state either in the frontend or in pycaprio. Maybe I'm missing something (I couldn't directly see this functionality and I couldn't directly understand how to use pycaprio to do that in bulk (using client.api.update_annotation_state always gave errors).

You can (currently) start curating as soon as at least one annotator has marked their document as "completed".

There are two ways to set the annotation state for a user via the REST API:

• via annotationsCreate http://localhost:8080/swagger-ui/index.html#/aero-remote-api-controller/annotationsCreate
• via annotationsUpdateState http://localhost:8080/swagger-ui/index.html#/aero-remote-api-controller/annotationsUpdateState

The overall document state should be set to annotation finished automatically when there are sufficient finished documents according to the workload configuration.

What kind of errors did you get when trying to use annotationsUpdateState? Have you tried it via the Swagger API?

Also, what do you mean by "approve"?
