Get Started with Iterative Studio

The following video provides you a quick overview of how to use Iterative Studio.

Note that we have renamed DVC Studio to Iterative Studio and Views to Projects.

Sign up / sign in

1. Sign in to your Iterative Studio dashboard using your GitHub.com, GitLab.com or Bitbucket.org account, or your email address.

   When you sign up, you're on the Free plan. To switch to the Basic plan create a team first, then go to the team settings and click on Change plan in the Plan and billing section.

   To sign up for the Teams or Enterprise plan, please schedule a call.

   See pricing details to compare the different plans.

Explore demo project

1. If this is the first time you are signing in to Iterative Studio, you will see that there already exists a Demo project that connects to an example repository. Use this project to explore the features that Iterative Studio has to offer.

When you first login, an example project is already created for you to explore, and you can add more projects.

2. Each project on this dashboard displays the metrics that Iterative Studio identified in your Git repository. In the figure above, you can see that avg_prec and roc_auc metrics are displayed.

Add your projects

1. To connect to a new repository, click on Add a Project. All the organizations that you have access to will be listed.

   If you do not see your desired organizations or Git repositories, make sure that the connection to your Git server has been set up.

   To connect to your GitHub repositories, you must install the Iterative Studio GitHub app. Refer to the section on GitHub app installation for more details.

   To connect to repositories on your self-hosted GitLab server, you must first add a connection to this server and create a team. Refer to the section on self-hosted GitLab server support for more details.

2. Open the organization whose repository you want to connect to. You can also use the search bar to directly look for a repository.

   

3. Specify additional connection settings if required.

   

Project settings must be configured if you are connecting to a non-DVC repository, if your metrics are in some custom files, if you are connecting to a monorepo, or if your metrics are in cloud or other remote storage. However, you can configure the project settings after the project has been created. So you can Skip and Continue now. Refer to the Project Settings section for more details.

You should now see that a project has been added in your dashboard.

4. If your project requires any of the additional settings, then remember to configure them by opening the project settings. Otherwise, your project may not work as expected. To go to project settings, click on the icon in the project. In the menu that opens up, click on Settings.

5. You can also create multiple projects from a single Git repository.

Explore and share your projects

1. After creating a project, you can use it to explore the ML experiments as well as submit new experiments from Iterative Studio.

2. You can also make the project public by sharing it on the web.

Use model registry

1. Click on the Models tab to open the central Models dashboard. If any of your projects contain GTO-annotated models, they will be listed here automatically.

2. You can add new models to the model registry by clicking on the Add a model button and following on-screen instructions.

3. To view the details of a model, click on the name of the model.

4. You can register new versions of the models and assign stages to them (e.g., development, staging, production).

Create and manage teams

1. You can create a team and invite collaborators. Each team will have its own projects dashboard. To create teams with more than 2 team members, sign up for the Basic, Teams or Enterprise plan.
