Sync Trials to Foundry Dataset

Sync your experiment trials to a linked Foundry dataset with one click, writing a snapshot of all trial data as a Parquet file.

What's included

Sync button on the trials page

The Views button in the study toolbar

A new Sync button sits in the top-right toolbar of the experiment trials page, next to the Add and Upload controls.

  • Click Sync to export all trials for the experiment to the linked Foundry dataset
  • The button shows a loading spinner while the sync runs and toasts the number of rows synced on completion
  • The button is disabled when there are no trials or no Foundry dataset is linked to the experiment

What gets synced

  • Only trials where all parameters are complete are included, regardless of state
  • Each sync overwrites the previous snapshot

Notes

  • The Sync button requires a Foundry dataset to be linked to the experiment at creation time
  • Each sync is a full snapshot — incremental/append writes are not currently supported

Saved Views for Plot and Correlations

Save and reapply chart configurations across Plot Builder and Correlation analysis. Build up a view by adding chart settings one tab at a time, then share a link to reproduce the exact setup.

What's included

Views menu

The Views button in the study toolbar

Use the Views button in the study toolbar to save, apply, and manage your chart configurations.

Save chart configurations as views

Saving a new view from Plot Builder

  • Use Save as new view… to create a named view from your current chart configuration
  • Saved views are stored per study and can be selected, applied, and deleted at any time
  • Applying a view restores your axis selections, colour, symbol, and trellis encodings in Plot Builder, and your column and colour selections across all Correlation tabs

Build up a view across multiple charts

Adding correlation settings to an existing view

  • Each chart page (Plot Builder, Correlation Matrix, Correlation Ranked, Correlation Pair Plot) contributes its own configuration slot to a view
  • Use Save to "[view name]" to add or update the current page's settings into the active view without overwriting the other slots
  • Navigate between charts and keep saving to build up a view that spans multiple chart types

Share a view

  • When a view is active, the URL contains a ?view= parameter — copy and share it to let a colleague open the same configuration directly
  • Views are study-scoped, so the recipient must have access to the study

Notes

  • Correlation tab settings (columns, colour) are saved independently per tab type, so Matrix, Ranked, and Pair Plot each have their own slot within a view
  • Clearing a view (the × button next to the Views menu) returns each chart to its default state; it does not delete the saved view
  • Views currently work for Plot Builder and Correlation only — support for PCA, Survival, and other chart types is coming soon
  • This is an incremental update during beta

Catalyst Assist

Ask questions about Catalyst and get instant, documentation-backed answers — right from the sidebar.

What's included

Catalyst Assist panel open alongside the dashboard

  • Click Assist in the sidebar to open the panel from any page
  • Ask a question and receive a focused, markdown-formatted answer grounded in Catalyst documentation
  • Source excerpts are shown beneath each reply so you can verify or explore further
  • Follow-up questions are supported — prior context is carried forward within the same conversation
  • Use the + button to start a new conversation at any time

Notes

  • Answers are based solely on Catalyst documentation — the assistant will not speculate or invent features
  • AI responses may not always be accurate. When in doubt, refer to the official documentation for authoritative guidance
  • If you receive an unexpected or unhelpful response, please share it via Support → Contact Support
  • Conversations are limited to 20 messages; start a new one for unrelated topics

Contact Support

Send feedback, bug reports, and feature requests directly from the Support menu.

What's included

Contact Support from anywhere

Contact Support dialog

  • Open Support -> Contact Support from the app sidebar without leaving your current page
  • Submit one of three request types: General Feedback, Bug Report, or Feature Request

Faster issue triage

  • Add a clear title and detailed description so the team can understand your request faster
  • Your submission includes your current page, browser, and account details to reduce back-and-forth

Notes

  • The form requires both a title and description before you can submit
  • Messages are limited to 1,500 characters
  • For bug reports, include steps to reproduce and what you expected to happen

Exclude Columns in Data Health & Column Settings

Excluded columns are now hidden by default in the Data Health summary, and both the Data Health and Column Settings pages show a consistent "Hide excluded (N)" filter.

What's included

Standardized "Exclude" action

Summary

The action previously labeled Drop column in the Data Health table is now labeled Exclude, consistent with the terminology used in Column Settings. Excluded columns (visibility offs) are now hidden by default in the Data Health summary table. A Hide excluded (N) checkbox appears in the toolbar whenever there are excluded columns, allowing you to reveal them when needed.

Consistent filter in Column Settings

Column Edit

The same Hide excluded (N) checkbox — showing the count of excluded columns — is now displayed in the Column Settings page, matching the behaviour in Data Health.


Notes

  • Excluded columns are hidden, not deleted — your underlying data remains unchanged
  • The count in the checkbox reflects how many columns currently have visibility turned off
  • If you notice any unexpected behavior, please share steps to reproduce

AI Summary for Plot Builder

Instantly understand any plot with an AI-generated summary — powered by an LLM with vision.

What's included

How it works

AI Summary popover on a scatter plot

  • Click the AI Summary button in the Plot Builder toolbar
  • A vision-enabled LLM reads the plot statistics and sees the chart, then returns bullet points covering distributions, group breakdowns, data quality issues, and visual patterns like clusters or outliers
  • Hit copy to paste the summary into a report or analysis note

Notes

  • Works with scatter plots, box plots, and heatmaps
  • The summary is factual only — the LLM does not assess or make recommendations
  • If you notice any unexpected behavior, please share steps to reproduce

Column Management

Rename and include or exclude columns across your study from Column Management.

What's included

Column Management

Column Management

You can now manage columns from Edit → Columns.

  • Exclude columns to remove them from all views in the study — including plots, statistics, and column groups
  • Include columns again at any time to restore them across the study

Update Column

Drawer to update

  • Rename columns to use more meaningful display names across your study
  • Changes are applied consistently across all views

Notes

  • Excluded columns are hidden, not deleted — your underlying data remains unchanged
  • Renaming affects display only and does not modify raw data
  • If you notice any unexpected behavior, please share steps to reproduce

Desirability Convergence Chart

New desirability convergence chart for tracking optimization progress across experiment trials.

What's included

How it works

Numerical Parameter - select parameter

  • Select a numerical parameter from the parameter sidebar to color data points by that parameter's value
  • A continuous color scale shows how parameter values relate to desirability scores across trials
  • The best so far line tracks the highest desirability achieved up to each trial

Categorical Parameter - select parameter

  • Select a categorical parameter to color data points by category
  • A discrete color legend identifies each category value

Notes

  • The convergence chart is available under the Desirability tab in the Visualization section
  • Chart interactions and layout may continue to evolve during the beta phase
  • If you notice any unexpected behavior, please share steps to reproduce

Trellis plots in Experiment Visualization Convergence

Split convergence plot into a multi-panel grid when multiple targets are selected.

What's included

How it works

Trellis convergence plot

  • Select multiple targets from the target sidebar
  • The convergence plot automatically splits into a grid — one panel per target
  • Each panel shares the same x-axis (iteration index) but has an independent y-axis scale

Trellis - select point

  • Click a data point to highlight the corresponding trial across all panels

Trellis - draw point

  • Shift-drag to draw a brush selection across panels
  • Points outside the selection are dimmed
  • Up to 6 targets can be displayed at a time

Notes

  • Single target selection continues to show the standard convergence plot
  • Trellis layout and interactions may continue to evolve during the beta phase
  • If you notice any unexpected behavior, please share steps to reproduce

Drop Column in Data Health

You can now drop columns directly from the Data Health table. Dropped columns are hidden across all study views and the change is saved automatically.

What's included

Drop Column

Drop Column Button

Click the drop button on any row in the Data Health table to hide that column across all views in the study — plots, statistics, and column groups included.

Undo

Undo Drop Column Button

Changed your mind? Hit the undo button on the same row to bring the column back instantly.


Notes

  • Dropped columns are hidden, not deleted — your data stays intact
  • If you notice any unexpected behavior, please share steps to reproduce
