Widget Overview

Dashboard widgets are the individual tiles that help create a dashboard view. Widgets provide an easy way to customize dashboards and perform ad hoc analysis. They can be used to build dashboards from scratch, or as a way to modify templated dashboards.

Widget Types

Experiments

Tracking experiments over time in your dashboard lets you visualize the progress and results of specific evaluations and see how different experiment versions compare.
Experiments Widget
  1. Start a Dashboard
    Begin with an existing dashboard, a blank one, or use a created template.
  2. Enter Edit Mode
    Switch to edit mode to enable adding and configuring widgets.
  3. Add the Experiments Widget
    Select or drag the ‘Experiments’ widget into the dashboard to start configuring your experiment tracking.
  4. Select a Dataset
    Choose the dataset associated with your experiments that you want to visualize.
  5. Choose Evaluations to Track
    Specify the particular evaluation metrics you want to monitor over time. This can include key metrics you’re using to measure experiment success.
  6. Interactive Experiment Details
    To view more details for any experiment in the widget, hover over the desired experiment and click to access in-depth insights about that experiment’s metrics, configurations, and results.

Time Series

Use time series widgets to view metrics over time, helping you track trends and monitor performance. Common metrics to visualize in a time series include token count, number of sessions, errors, and costs, among others.
Time Series Widget
  1. Start a Dashboard
    Begin with an existing dashboard, create a new blank dashboard, or use a pre-built template.
  2. Enter Edit Mode
    Switch to edit mode to add widgets and configure their settings.
  3. Add the Time Series Widget
    Select or drag the ‘Time Series’ widget into your dashboard.
  4. Define the Plot
    Choose the metric you want to track. For example, you could monitor attributes.llm.token_count.total to track costs, or select a custom metric you’ve defined.
    Time series plots are ideal for visualizing data trends over time, making it easy to spot patterns or changes in metrics.
Track Evaluations
You can also use time series widgets to track evaluation metrics. For example, you might track label counts over time or create custom evaluation metrics to gain insights into model performance as it evolves.

Distribution

A distribution widget helps analyze the spread and concentration of data within your dashboard, useful for understanding the distribution of dimensions or evaluations.
Distribution Widget
  1. Begin with a Dashboard
    Start with an existing dashboard, a new blank one, or a created template.
  2. Enter Edit Mode
    Enter edit mode to start creating and configuring widgets.
  3. Add the Distribution Widget
    Select or drag the ‘Distribution’ widget creation button into your dashboard.
  4. Define the Plot
    Choose the model you want to analyze and select the distribution type, such as span property or evaluation. Then, select the specific dimension to visualize.
  5. Adjust Display Options
    • For numeric dimensions, you can customize the view by choosing a binning strategy (e.g., equal-width bins or custom intervals).
    • For categorical dimensions, slices will automatically display for each unique value, making it easy to see the proportion of each category.
    If you select a feature with a string data type, values will be bucketed by the unique values rather than numeric ranges. This flexibility allows you to analyze both numerical and categorical data effectively.

Statistic

Highlight essential performance metrics in a snapshot view, perfect for monitoring key metrics across environments.
Statistic Widget
  1. Start with a Dashboard
    Use an existing dashboard, create a blank one, or start with a created template.
  2. Enter Edit Mode
    Switch to edit mode to add and configure widgets.
  3. Add the Statistic Widget
    Select or drag the ‘Statistic’ widget square into the dashboard.
  4. Define the Metric
    Specify the evaluation or performance metric to display. Define the rest of the widget by choosing the model, metric, model environment (e.g., Production, Pre-production), and version (if applicable).
  5. Add Filters for Specific Insights
    Narrow down the metric by adding filters based on features, actuals, predictions, or other dataset attributes to ensure you’re viewing the most relevant data.

Text

Use the text widget to add annotations or metadata directly to your dashboard, providing context and enhancing readability.
Text Widget
  1. Start a Dashboard
    Choose an existing dashboard, a blank one, or a pre-made template.
  2. Enter Edit Mode
    Go to edit mode to configure widgets and add information.
  3. Add the Text Widget
    Select or drag the ‘Text’ widget square into the dashboard.
  4. Type Annotations
    Add notes, explanations, and any other relevant information that helps provide context or interpret the data within the dashboard.
Enjoy building insightful, tailored dashboards with these widget options to meet your analysis and monitoring needs!
