# Enrich Tab

> Reference for the Enrich tab inside a Visual Layer dataset — model selection and enrichment progress tracking.

The **Enrich** tab is where AI-driven enrichment of the dataset is configured and monitored. It exposes the model picker, the preview of model output, and the progress view for running enrichment jobs. For the end-to-end workflow, see [Enrich Your Datasets with AI Models](/docs/advanced-dataset-management/enrich-overview).

## Layout Overview

The Enrich tab is organized into three areas.

<div className="integrations-table">
  | Region            | Purpose                                                          |
  | ----------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------- |
  | **Model Picker**  | Select one or more models to run against the dataset             |
  | **Preview Panel** | Inspect a sample of model output before committing to a full run |
  | **Progress View** | Track the status of running enrichment jobs and review past jobs |
</div>

## Model Picker

The model picker lists every enrichment model available for the dataset. Each entry shows the model name, its task type, and a short description. Selecting a model highlights it, and **Add Models** includes additional models in the same run.

Available models cover a range of enrichment tasks:

| Task Type                       | Purpose                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           |
| ------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Object detection**            | Draws bounding boxes and classifies each detected object. Feeds the [Objects view](/docs/explore-and-search/dataset-interface-explore-tab#objects-view) in the **Explore** tab.                                                                                                   |
| **Image tagging**               | Assigns labels to the entire image. Populates the **Labels** section of the [Insights Panel](/docs/explore-and-search/dataset-interface-explore-tab#insights-panel).                                                                                                              |
| **Image and object captioning** | Generates descriptive text that powers [Caption Search](/docs/explore-and-search/using-search-filter#caption-search-boolean-logic).                                                                                                                                               |
| **Semantic search embeddings**  | Powers [Semantic Search](/docs/explore-and-search/using-search-filter#semantic-search-natural-language) across the dataset. For the theory, see [How Semantic Search Understands Language](/docs/explore-and-search/explore-theory#how-does-semantic-search-understand-language). |
| **Face detection**              | Detects faces and facial landmarks.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               |

For the full catalog, including task type, descriptions, and model dependencies, see [Model Catalog](/docs/Dataset-Enrichment/model-catalog).

<Note>
  Some models require pre-existing enrichments before they can run. For example, **VL-Object-Captioner** requires **Object Detection** to have been applied first, and semantic search models require captions or embeddings from a prior enrichment step.
</Note>

## Preview Panel

The preview panel runs the selected model(s) on a small sample of images and displays the output so a reviewer can inspect the results before committing to a full dataset run. A **Generate Models Preview** button produces the sample, and when multiple models are selected the panel allows switching between them to compare outputs. An **Enrich Dataset** button commits every selected model to a full run across all images and frames in the dataset. For the end-to-end procedure, see [Enrich Your Datasets](/docs/advanced-dataset-management/enrich-overview).

## Progress View

The progress view tracks enrichment jobs from start to finish. Each job entry shows the models being run, a live progress indicator, and a timestamp. Completed jobs remain in the view as history.

Enrichment runs do not block exploration. You can continue to search, filter, and select in the [Explore tab](/docs/explore-and-search/dataset-interface-explore-tab) while a job is in flight, and newly generated metadata becomes available in the [Insights Panel](/docs/explore-and-search/dataset-interface-explore-tab#insights-panel) and [filter options](/docs/explore-and-search/using-search-filter#filter-options-reference) once the job completes.

For live status across every dataset in the workspace, use the [Task Manager](/docs/advanced-features/task-manager). Notifications for completed enrichment runs appear in the bell icon in the dataset header — see [Monitoring and Alerts](/docs/advanced-features/notifications) for the full notification system.
