Katalyst: “No experiments found” in Katalyst search – common causes and fixes

Description

• A user uses Katalyst’s search or experiment list filters (by ID, title, project, or date) and sees “no experiments found”.
• The experiment is known to exist and is visible to other users (e.g., admins).

Solution

• Check search/filter criteria:
  • Clear any restrictive filters (e.g., date ranges, status filters, project filters).
  • Ensure the correct project or environment is selected (dev vs prod).
• Confirm permissions:
  • Verify that the user has access to the project where the experiment resides.
  • Ensure they are part of the correct group/role.
• Search by exact KAT ID if known:
  • This is less sensitive to title or metadata differences.
• If the experiment still does not appear:
  • Check whether it has been archived, moved, or renamed.
  • Ask an admin to open the experiment and verify its current project and visibility settings.
• Once the underlying issue is fixed (permissions or filters):
  • Confirm the user can search and find both the specific experiment and other expected experiments.
