Filter and search runs

How to use the sidebar and table on the project page

Use your project page to gain insights from runs logged to W&B. You can filter and search runs from both the Workspace page and the Runs page.

Filter runs

Filter runs based on their status, tags, regular expressions (RegEx) or other properties with the filter button.

See Customize run colors for more information on how to edit, randomize, and reset run colors.

Filter runs with tags

Filter runs based on their tags with the filter button.

1. Click on the Runs tab from the project sidebar.
2. Select the Filter button, which looks like a funnel, at the top of the runs table.
3. From left to right, select "Tags" from the dropdown menu, select a logic operator, and select a filter search value.

Filter runs with regex

If regex doesn’t provide you the desired results, you can make use of tags to filter out the runs in Runs Table. Tags can be added either on run creation or after they’re finished. Once the tags are added to a run, you can add a tag filter as shown in the gif below.

1. Click on the Runs tab from the project sidebar.
2. Click on the search box at the top of the runs table.
3. Ensure that the RegEx toggle (.*) is enabled (the toggle should be blue).
4. Enter your regular expression in the search box.

Search runs

Use regular expressions (RegEx) to find runs with the regular expression you specify. When you type a query in the search box, that will filter down the visible runs in the graphs on the workspace as well as filtering the rows of the table.

Group runs

To group runs by one or more columns (including hidden columns):

1. Below the search box, click the Group button, which looks like a lined sheet of paper.
2. Select one or more columns to group results by.
3. Each set of grouped runs is collapsed by default. To expand it, click the arrow next to the group name.

Sort runs by minimum and maximum values

Sort the runs table by the minimum or maximum value of a logged metric. This is particularly useful if you want to view the best (or worst) recorded value.

The following steps describe how to sort the run table by a specific metric based on the minimum or maximum recorded value:

1. Hover your mouse over the column with the metric you want to sort with.
2. Select the kebab menu (three vertical lines).
3. From the dropdown, select either Show min or Show max.
4. From the same dropdown, select Sort by asc or Sort by desc to sort in ascending or descending order, respectively.

Search End Time for runs

We provide a column named End Time that logs that last heartbeat from the client process. The field is hidden by default.

Export runs table to CSV

Export the table of all your runs, hyperparameters, and summary metrics to a CSV with the download button.
