# Dashboard tour Follow this tour to learn where each surface lives and the loop the dashboard is built for: scan many runs, chart a metric, open one run, then compare candidates. ## Navigate the dashboard The left rail groups surfaces into three sections: | Group | Surfaces | | --- | --- | | Operate | Runs, Metrics, Distributed | | Data | Datasets, Artifacts, Insights | | System | Run Health, Reports, Agent | Two surfaces are reachable without a rail item: - **Run Detail** — open any run from the Runs workspace. - **Compare** — select two or more runs in the Runs **Table** view. Settings is not in the rail. Open the profile menu in the top right and choose **Workspace settings** to open it as a centered modal. The same menu holds **New workspace**, the light/dark theme toggle, and **Sign out**; billing lives inside the Workspace settings modal as its own section. ## Scan runs in the Runs workspace ![Runs workspace showing the run rail and metric panels](/docs/assets/images/product/dashboard-runs.png) Runs is the broadest view of a project. Filter by project, status, search text, and sort mode, then select runs from the rail. Toggle between **Panels** (run selector plus chart canvas) and **Table** (a flat, sortable run list with an embedded comparison). The **Runs actions** menu exports selected runs as CSV and reviews stop requests. Save a named view when a layout should survive a reload. See [Runs workspace](/docs/dashboard/runs-workspace.md) for panel types, search syntax, and shortcuts. ## Switch workspaces ![Organization workspace switcher](/docs/assets/images/product/dashboard-org-workspaces.png) The top-right account menu shows the active workspace and switches between your personal and organization workspaces. It also creates new workspaces and opens the Workspace settings modal. See [Organizations and workspaces](/docs/dashboard/organizations-workspaces.md) for hierarchy and roles. ## Chart metrics ![Metrics dashboard](/docs/assets/images/product/dashboard-metrics.png) Metrics is line-chart first. A metric browser on the left groups logged keys by namespace. The chart supports smoothing, a step/time x-axis, a linear/log y-axis, and grouped averages, with a series table for showing, hiding, and pinning runs. Export downloads the plotted CSV sample or an SVG of the visible graph. ## Inspect one run ![Run detail page](/docs/assets/images/product/dashboard-run-detail.png) Run Detail focuses on a single run. A KPI cockpit summarizes step progress, the headline eval metric, loss, throughput, GPU util, and ETA. Header actions fork the newest checkpoint, jump to Compare, or request a stop. Local sections cover summary, data, traces, logs, files, system context, and graph lineage. ![Run Detail traces section](/docs/assets/images/product/dashboard-run-detail-traces.png) The Traces section fetches recent traces only when opened. Each row links to the full trace tree with the exact run, trace, and root span selected. ## Traces ![Traces workspace](/docs/assets/images/product/dashboard-traces.png) Traces is a run-scoped debugger for rollout, model, tool, retrieval, reward, and evaluator spans. Filter by run/status/kind/search text, expand child spans without loading the full tree up front, and inspect redacted previews, attributes, metrics, and links in the side panel. ![Run Detail Files section showing checkpoints and evaluation evidence](/docs/assets/images/product/dashboard-artifacts-evidence.png) The Files section lists checkpoints, rich objects, evaluation bundles, media, and artifact metadata without loading those payloads on the initial summary view. ## Compare candidates ![Compare view embedded in the Runs Table](/docs/assets/images/product/dashboard-compare.png) Comparison lives at the top of the Runs **Table** view. Select two or more runs and they render side by side with a reference run, goal-aware deltas, and addable metric columns. Use it after Runs has narrowed the candidate set. ## Analyze distributed runs and Insights ![Distributed dashboard](/docs/assets/images/product/dashboard-distributed.png) Distributed is a rank-aware view for one selected run: reducer lines, rank coverage, per-rank snapshots, heatmaps, and outliers from metrics logged with `run.log_rank_metrics(...)`. ![Insights dashboard](/docs/assets/images/product/dashboard-insights.png) Insights has two views — **GPU & System** usage and **Run Analysis** (grouped reducers, hyperparameter scatter, k-means clusters, evaluation summary cards, and parallel-coordinate sweep traces). Both operate over the loaded or selected run summaries. ## Fork checkpoints and trace lineage ![Checkpoint fork modal](/docs/assets/images/product/dashboard-checkpoint-fork.png) Checkpoint rows expose download, resume-code, and fork actions. Forking creates a linked child run record only; training starts when a user or script attaches to that run and logs new data. ![Lineage graph showing a forked child run with no direct children yet](/docs/assets/images/product/dashboard-lineage-graph.png) The Lineage tab shows the selected run's direct parent, checkpoint, and bounded child context. ## Browse artifacts ![Artifacts workspace showing a versioned model collection with aliases, manifest, and lineage](/docs/assets/images/product/dashboard-artifacts-browser.png) The Artifacts workspace shows versioned collections first: aliases such as `latest` and `best`, manifest entries, retention/delete controls for owners and admins, and bounded producer/consumer lineage. Raw run files and media stay in the Run Detail Artifacts tab. ## Write reports ![Reports editor](/docs/assets/images/product/dashboard-reports-editor.png) Reports are block-based writeups with live panel grids, share links, and Markdown export. Start one from the Reports surface with **New report** or **Start from template**. ## Next steps - [Runs workspace](/docs/dashboard/runs-workspace.md) - [Metrics and charts](/docs/dashboard/metrics-charts.md) - [Run Detail](/docs/dashboard/run-detail.md) - [Compare runs](/docs/dashboard/compare-runs.md) - [Organizations and workspaces](/docs/dashboard/organizations-workspaces.md) ## Agent navigation - [Docs index](/llms.txt) - [Full docs bundle](/llms-full.txt) ### Get Started - [Overview](/docs/index.md) - [Quickstart](/docs/quickstart.md) - [Core Concepts](/docs/concepts/core-concepts.md) - [Pricing](/docs/pricing.md) - [Benchmarks](/docs/benchmarks.md) - [Examples](/docs/guides/examples.md) - [Troubleshooting](/docs/troubleshooting.md) ### SDK - [Installation Auth](/docs/sdk/installation-auth.md) - [Logging](/docs/sdk/logging.md) - [Tracing](/docs/sdk/tracing.md) - [Metrics Steps](/docs/sdk/metrics-steps.md) - [Config Tags Notes](/docs/sdk/config-tags-notes.md) - [Artifacts Checkpoints](/docs/sdk/artifacts-checkpoints.md) - [Rich Objects](/docs/sdk/rich-objects.md) - [Distributed Training](/docs/sdk/distributed-training.md) - [Console System Integrations](/docs/sdk/console-system-integrations.md) - [Reliability](/docs/sdk/reliability.md) - [Cli Login](/docs/sdk/cli-login.md) - [Querying Data](/docs/sdk/querying-data.md) - [Agent Mcp](/docs/sdk/agent-mcp.md) - [Examples Patterns](/docs/sdk/examples-patterns.md) ### Integrations - [Overview](/docs/integrations/overview.md) - [Pytorch Lightning](/docs/integrations/pytorch-lightning.md) - [Huggingface Transformers](/docs/integrations/huggingface-transformers.md) - [Keras](/docs/integrations/keras.md) - [Wandb](/docs/integrations/wandb.md) ### Dashboard - [Tour](/docs/dashboard/tour.md) (current page) - [Organizations Workspaces](/docs/dashboard/organizations-workspaces.md) - [Runs Workspace](/docs/dashboard/runs-workspace.md) - [Metrics Charts](/docs/dashboard/metrics-charts.md) - [Run Detail](/docs/dashboard/run-detail.md) - [Traces](/docs/dashboard/traces.md) - [Compare Runs](/docs/dashboard/compare-runs.md) - [Research Dashboards](/docs/dashboard/research-dashboards.md) - [Artifacts Files](/docs/dashboard/artifacts-files.md) - [Run Health](/docs/dashboard/alerts.md) - [Datasets](/docs/dashboard/datasets.md) - [Checkpoints](/docs/dashboard/checkpoints.md) - [Reports](/docs/dashboard/reports.md) - [Settings Api Keys](/docs/dashboard/settings-api-keys.md) - [Api Tab](/docs/dashboard/api-tab.md) - [Onboarding Team Billing](/docs/dashboard/onboarding-team-billing.md) ### Data - [Imports](/docs/guides/imports.md) - [W&B alternative](/docs/guides/wandb-alternative.md) - [InstantML vs MLflow](/docs/guides/instantml-vs-mlflow.md) - [W&B import guide](/docs/guides/wandb-import-guide.md) - [W&B and Neptune imports](/docs/guides/wandb-neptune-imports.md) - [Export Usage Limits](/docs/guides/export-usage-limits.md) - [Pricing Limits Billing](/docs/guides/pricing-limits-billing.md) - [Auth Billing Storage](/docs/guides/auth-billing-storage.md) - [Customer Owned Clickhouse](/docs/guides/customer-owned-clickhouse.md) - [Observability](/docs/guides/observability.md) ### API **Practical API guides** - [Authentication](/docs/api/authentication.md) - [Errors And Limits](/docs/api/errors-and-limits.md) - [Health Observability](/docs/api/health-observability.md) - [Projects Runs](/docs/api/projects-runs.md) - [Metrics Series](/docs/api/metrics-series.md) - [Attributes Objects](/docs/api/attributes-objects.md) - [Artifacts](/docs/api/artifacts.md) - [Reports](/docs/api/reports.md) - [Iframe Embeds](/docs/api/iframe-embeds.md) - [Import Export Usage](/docs/api/import-export-usage.md) - [Dashboard Control State](/docs/api/dashboard-control-state.md) **Architecture** - [System Overview](/docs/architecture/system-overview.md) - [Service Planes](/docs/architecture/service-planes.md) - [Storage Model](/docs/architecture/storage-model.md) - [Google Clickhouse](/docs/architecture/google-clickhouse.md) - [Auth Tenancy](/docs/architecture/auth-tenancy.md) - [Schema Reference](/docs/architecture/schema-reference.md) ### API Reference - [API Reference](/docs/api-reference.md)
