Panels

Use workspace panel visualizations to explore your logged data by key, visualize the relationships between hyperparameters and output metrics, and more.

Workspace modes

W&B projects support two different workspace modes. The icon next to the workspace name shows its mode.

Icon	Workspace mode
	Automated workspaces automatically generate panels for all keys logged in the project. Choose an automatic workspace: To get started quickly by visualizing all available data for the project. For a smaller projects that log fewer keys. For more broad analysis. If you delete a panel from an automatic workspace, you can use Quick add to recreate it.
	Manual workspaces start as blank slates and display only those panels intentionally added by users. Choose a manual workspace: When you care mainly about a fraction of the keys logged in the project. For more focused analysis. To improve the performance of a workspace, avoiding loading panels that are less useful to you. Use Quick add to easily populate a manual workspace and its sections with useful visualizations rapidly.

To change how a workspace generates panels, reset the workspace.

Reset a workspace

To reset a workspace:

1. At the top of the workspace, click the action menu ....
2. Click Reset workspace.

Configure the workspace layout

To configure the workspace layout, click Settings near the top of the workspace, then click Workspace layout.

• Hide empty sections during search (turned on by default)
• Sort panels alphabetically (turned off by default)
• Section organization (grouped by first prefix by default). To modify this setting:
  1. Click the padlock icon.
  2. Choose how to group panels within a section.

To configure defaults for the workspace’s line plots, refer to Line plots.

Configure a section’s layout

To configure the layout of a section, click its gear icon, then click Display preferences.

• Turn on or off colored run names in tooltips (turned on by default)
• Only show highlighted run in companion chart tooltips (turned off by default)
• Number of runs shown in tooltips (a single run, all runs, or Default)
• Display full run names on the primary chart tooltip (turned off by default)

View a panel in full-screen mode

In full-screen mode, the run selector displays and panels use full full-fidelity sampling mode plots with 10,000 buckets, rather than 1000 buckets otherwise.

To view a panel in full-screen mode:

1. Hover over the panel.
2. Click the panel’s action menu ..., then click the full-screen button, which looks like a viewfinder or an outline showing the four corners of a square.
3. When you share the panel while viewing it in full-screen mode, the resulting link opens in full-screen mode automatically.

To get back to a panel’s workspace from full-screen mode, click the left-pointing arrow at the top of the page.

Add panels

This section shows various ways to add panels to your workspace.

Add a panel manually

Add panels to your workspace one at a time, either globally or at the section level.

1. To add a panel globally, click Add panels in the control bar near the panel search field.
2. To add a panel directly to a section instead, click the section’s action ... menu, then click + Add panels.
3. Select the type of panel to add, such as a chart. The panel’s configuration details appear, with defaults selected.
4. Optionally, customize the panel and its display preferences. Configuration options depend on the type of panel you select. To learn more about the options for each type of panel, refer to the relevant section below, such as Line plots or Bar plots.
5. Click Apply.

Quick add panels

Use Quick add to add a panel automatically for each key you select, either globally or at the section level.

1. To use Quick add to add a panel globally, click Add panels in the control bar near the panel search field, then click Quick add.
2. To use Quick add to add a panel directly to a section, click the section’s action ... menu, click Add panels, then click Quick add.
3. A list of panels appears. Each panel with a checkmark is already included in the workspace.
   • To add all available panels, click the Add panels button at the top of the list. The Quick Add list closes and the new panels display in the workspace.
   • To add an individual panel from the list, hover over the panel’s row, then click Add. Repeat this step for each panel you want to add, then click the X at the top right to close the Quick Add list. The new panels display in the workspace.
4. Optionally, customize the panel’s settings.

Share a panel

This section shows how to share a panel using a link.

To share a panel using a link, you can either:

• While viewing the panel in full-screen mode, copy the URL from the browser.
• Click the action menu ... and select Copy panel URL.

Share the link with the user or team. When they access the link, the panel opens in full-screen mode.

To return to a panel’s workspace from full-screen mode, click the left-pointing arrow at the top of the page.

Compose a panel’s full-screen link programmatically

In certain situations, such as when creating an automation, it can be useful to include the panel’s full-screen URL. This section shows the format for a panel’s full-screen URL. In the proceeding example, replace the entity, project, panel, and section names in brackets.

https://wandb.ai/<ENTITY_NAME>/<PROJECT_NAME>?panelDisplayName=<PANEL_NAME>&panelSectionName=<SECTON_NAME>

If multiple panels in the same section have the same name, this URL opens the first panel with the name.

Embed or share a panel on social media

To embed a panel in a website or share it on social media, the panel must be viewable by anyone with the link. If a project is private, only members of the project can view the panel. If the project is public, anyone with the link can view the panel.

To get the code to embed or share a panel on social media:

1. From the workspace, hover over the panel, then click its action menu ....
2. Click the Share tab.
3. Change Only those who are invited have access to Anyone with the link can view. Otherwise, the choices in the next step are not available.
4. Choose Share on Twitter, Share on Reddit, Share on LinkedIn, or Copy embed link.

Email a panel report

To email a single panel as a stand-alone report:

1. Hover over the panel, then click the panel’s action menu ....
2. Click Share panel in report.
3. Select the Invite tab.
4. Enter an email address or username.
5. Optionally, change can view to can edit.
6. Click Invite. W&B sends an email to the user with a clickable link to the report that contains only the panel you are sharing.

Unlike when you share a panel, the recipient cannot get to the workspace from this report.

To add a new section before or after an existing section, you can instead click the section’s action ... menu, then click New section below or New section above.

Manage a section’s panels

Sections with a large number of panels are paginated by default if they use the Standard grid layout. The default number of panels on a page depend on the panel’s configuration and on the sizes of the panels in the section.

1. To check which layout a section uses, click the section’s action ... menu. To change a section’s layout, select Standard grid or Custom grid in the Layout grid section.
2. To resize a panel, hover over it, click the drag handle, and drag it to adjust the panel’s size.

• If a section uses the Standard grid, resizing one panel resizes all panels in the section.
• If a section uses the Custom grid, you can customize the size of each panel separately.

1. If a section is paginated, you can customize the number of panels to show on a page:
2. At the top of the section, click 1 to of , where <X> is the number of visible panels and <Y> is the total number of panels.
