About the labeling configuration

All labeling configurations must be wrapped in View tags.

Use the Text object tag to specify the text data to be annotated:
xml <Text name="query" value="$query" />

You can add a header to provide instructions to the annotator:
xml <Header value="Select document related to the query:" />

Add styling to the View tag to control the appearance of the text samples and choices
xml <View style="display: flex">

Wrap the text snippets in a new View tag and use the Text object tag to display 3 other text snippets:
xml <View> <Text name="text1" value="$text1" /> <Text name="text2" value="$text2" /> <Text name="text3" value="$text3" /> </View>

Add styling to another View tag to place the choices next to the text samples, then use the Choices control tag to require a selection from annotators and allow them to select multiple text snippets that apply:
xml <View style="padding: 30px"> <Choices name="selection" toName="query" required="true" choice="multiple"> <Choice value="One" /> <Choice value="Two" /> <Choice value="Three" /> </Choices> </View>
