Stop experiment
To conserve resources, you can manually stop a running experiment. On the Experiments page, click Stop in the Actions column of a running experiment. The system stops all running trials within the experiment first, then stops the experiment itself.
Stop trial
To conserve resources, you can manually stop a running trial. Stopping a single trial does not affect the overall experiment status.
-
On the Experiments page, click the name of the target experiment to go to the Experiment Details page.
-
On the Trials tab, find a running trial and click Stop in its Actions column.
Clone experiment
Clone an existing experiment to create an identical copy. You can also modify the parameters in the cloned experiment to create a new one.
-
Method 1: Click Clone in the Actions column of the target experiment. On the Create Experiment page, confirm the parameters and click Submit.
-
Method 2: Click the experiment name to go to the Experiment Details page. Click the Clone button in the upper-right corner of the page. On the Create Experiment page, confirm the parameters and click Submit.
Delete experiment
You can delete any experiment that is not currently running.
After an experiment is deleted, its information is permanently lost and cannot be recovered.
-
Method 1: On the Experiments page, click Delete in the Actions column of the target experiment. In the Tips dialog box that appears, click Determine.
-
Method 2: On the Experiments page, click the name of the target experiment to go to the Experiment Details page. In the upper-right corner of the page, click the Delete button. In the Tips dialog box, click Determine.
