Create a View

To create a new view, follow these steps.

1. Sign in to your DVC Studio dashboard using GitHub, GitLab or Bitbucket.

2. Click on Add a View. All the organizations that you have access to will be listed.

To create views from your GitHub repositories, you must install the DVC Studio GitHub app. Refer to the section on GitHub app installation for more details.

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

   

4. Specify additional connection settings if required.

   

View 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 view settings after the view has been created. So, you can Skip and Continue now. Refer to the View Settings section for more details.

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

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

Create multiple views from a single Git repository

You can also create multiple views from a single Git repository and apply different settings to them.

One use case for this is if you have a monorepo that contains sub-directories for multiple ML projects. If you want to create views for each of those ML projects, simply create multiple views for this monorepo, and for each view, specify a different sub-directory.

Refer to the View Settings section for more details on how to configure different settings (and sub-directories) for the views.
