Description
Users attempted to use Favorites to list child experiments from favorited notebooks and to track shared experiments across notebooks. Current behavior does not return child experiments from favorited notebooks, and notebooks not shared with a user (or empty ones) may not appear as filters. Resolution involves explicit sharing, permission checks, leveraging dashboard views, and adding standardized attributes/properties for future searches. A UI tip allows showing options for null fields.
Solution
Issue summary:
- Favorites apply to notebooks and experiments individually; they do not automatically return child experiments from favorited notebooks.
- Notebooks that are not explicitly shared may not appear as filters; empty notebooks can appear once shared.
Resolution steps:
- Explicitly share the relevant notebooks or experiments with intended users so they appear in search filters and results.
- Verify security policy includes read access (e.g., enable a rule that grants entity.read to the appropriate user group such as All users).
- For search UI filters with null values, click the field name, select Radio Button, and enable Show all values to reveal options that include nulls.
- Use personal dashboard views to monitor shared experiments as a short-term workaround.
- Implement standardized attributes/properties (e.g., status, program, team) on experiments going forward to enable consistent, filterable searches across notebooks.
- For onboarding cases where notebooks are empty, add at least one placeholder experiment or rely on explicit sharing to expose the notebook filter until content is added.
Notes/limitations:
- Attributes/properties cannot be retroactively applied, once the attributes are created and applied to the experiment template(s). The view will work to include the experiments created after the change.
- Favorites behavior enhancement to surface child experiments would require a product feature request.
