Side-by-side

The side-by-side tab lets you compare configs, scores, and other single values between selected runs. Rather than showing attributes as horizontal columns, it stacks them up as rows, so you can scroll through the differences more conveniently.

Example of a side-by-side view in Neptune

tip

To compare runs from different projects, configure a report.

Selecting runs to compare

To select runs, use the runs table. For details, see Select runs to compare.

Runs table in the Neptune app with eye icons highlighted to show selection of runs for compare tabs.

To remove a run from the compare view, toggle its eye icon in the runs table, or click the eye icon in the side-by-side header and select Remove from comparison.

Choose attributes to compare

To show an attribute at the top of the table, in the All runs tab, add the attribute as a column to the table.

Filter attributes by name

To filter attributes by their name, use the search. Extended regular expressions are supported.

Highlight differences

  • To filter out attributes that are the same for each run, in the toolbar, check the Rows with diff only box.
  • To see the change in values relative to the reference run, check the Show cell changes box.
    • To set the reference run, click the pin icon on the header row.

View string diffs

If a string is too long to fit in the cell, it's truncated.

To view the full diff of long strings:

  1. Enable the Rows with diff only option in the toolbar.
  2. Hover over the string cell.
  3. Click Show full diff.

A dialog appears where you can inspect the full diff.

note

For long strings, only the first 500 characters are diff-highlighted. If the full string can't be highlighted, a warning is displayed.
