Organizing and filtering Runs
You can find, organize, sort, and filter all the Runs from a project in the Runs space of the Neptune UI.
Runs in the Neptune UI
You will learn about:
- ​Searching and filtering Runs: Filter Runs by the value of a metric, parameter, date, and other metadata
- ​Saving Runs table Views: Save views of the Runs table to be used by any member of the project later
Customizing columns
You can configure what metadata logged to Neptune is displayed as columns in the Runs table.
You can see:
- metrics,
- parameters,
- text logs,
- system parameters,
- and any other metadata.
Adding columns
- Click +Add column button
Finding the +Add column button
- Type in a name of the metric or parameter you want to add and click on it
Adding columns in the Runs UI
- Choose a color of the column, notation format, and a name if you want to change the default.
Choosing name, color, and format for the column
- Drag your column wherever you want it to be
Using suggested columns
Neptune UI automatically proposes columns based on what is different between Runs.
Suggested columns are the right-most columns in the dashboard.
You can:
- add a suggested column by clicking on a + icon
- get a new column suggestion by clicking on a - icon

Adding aggregate columns for series
For Fields where you logged a series of values, you can choose an aggregate function and add it to the Runs table.
This is useful for training losses where you want to show the best (min or max) value of a loss during training.
You can display:
- MIN: minimal value
- MAX: maximal value
- AVERAGE: average or mean value
- LAST: the value that was logged last
- VARIANCE: variance calculated on the logged values
Searching and filtering Runs
You can search and filter Runs in Neptune based on any Field.
To filter Runs, start typing the Fields' name into the filter box and select the field you are looking for. Select the most fitting operator and provide reference value if required by the chosen operator.
You can enter queries using the keyboard only. Use up and down arrows to move around and Enter to select and accept.
Each field type has a set of specific operators that lets you specify what you are looking for.
You can:
- use both the full path of the Field and a custom column name to search columns
- combine many filters together to narrow the search as needed
Examples:
- Find models small enough to be used on mobile (
model/size <= 50 MB) that have a decent accuracy (test/acc > 0.90) - Check all runs from this month (
sys/creation_time > YYYY.MM.DD) that failed during training (sys/failed = True) - Find all my runs (
sys/owner = "giulia") from my current task (sys/tags ∋ "exploration")
Search history
You can access all your previous search queries with the Recent searches.
Sorting Runs table
You can sort the Runs table by any column including aggregate columns like max or last value of series of training metrics.
To do that, click on the arrowhead symbol next to the column name.

Saving Runs table Views
Once you have:
You may want to save the Runs table view for later. It will be visible to any member of your project.
Neptune lets you save one or many views of the Runs table so that you can:
- Look at different parameters and metrics for a particular idea or experiment
- Have your teammates look at different columns and save them without breaking your views
- Switch between different aspects of your experiments and model training runs quickly

How to save a Runs table View
In this short tutorial, you will learn:
- how to save the column configuration and filters you have set up to a new table view
- how to pin this view as the default for the project
To save table views, you need to be the "contributor" or "owner" of the project. For more information, see Roles in project.​
To create a new Runs table view you need to:
- Click on Save as new button. A model will open.
Finding Save as new button in the UI
- give your new table view a name. You can change it later
- find your table view in a list of views and pin it as default by clicking the pin icon
Pin your table view as default for the project
Now you and every other project member can:
- find and select this view and see parameters, metrics, and filters you configured
- share this view by sending a link
