Dashboards in Neptune
A dashboard is a customizable display option for runs in your project. Dashboards are like a lens or template that applies to whichever runs are visible, which lets you quickly analyze your latest experiments and see the most relevant metadata at a glance.
You can combine different metadata types, for example:
- Overlaid metrics and loss for training and validation, on the same chart.
- Model parameters and other configuration values.
- Relationships between configs, metrics or aggregates as a scatter plot.
Dashboard or report?
Both dashboards and reports help you analyze runs and their metadata through detailed and customizable views. Choose which one better answers your needs:
Dashboard
- Ideal for analyzing the ongoing experiments.
- You can compare experiments within one project.
- Dashboard configuration applies to the runs that are currently made visible by a person viewing the dashboard.
Report
- Ideal for analyzing the final results of experiments.
- You can compare experiments from multiple projects.
- You can select visible runs for people who view the report.
- You can add comments and extra resources such as links or images.
